Spam is a serious issue, especially if you run a website where a contact medium between users and yourself is critical. In this little “How To” I am going to show you the best way to stop spam AKA SpamAssassin™

Most web hosts should provide SpamAssassin™ (Especially if they are running cPanel 10). Make sure you enable it and enjoy the benefits (it’s really that easy). XDnet offers SpamAssassin™ with all standard and above accounts, so login and enjoy the benefits of spam free email!

If you are a power user you may want to adjust SpamAssassin™ sensitivity, to alter this go into SpamAssassin™ configuration and adjust the “required_score” variable. Keep in mind the lower your score the more aggressive SpamAssassin™ will be. I like to keep mine around 4, but it varies from website to website. (Note: This option is available to all VPS + Dedicated Clients, so check it out now!)
