The spamassassin.exe utility serves to manage spam filtering on the
mail-account level. The utility allows the following operations:

  • setting the number of hits required to mark a letter as spam
  • adding mail addresses to black and white lists
  • marking mail subject as spam, deleting spam messages

Usage

spamassassin.exe <command> [<email>] [

]

Example

The following command modifies the SpamAssassin configuration on
[email protected] to using server-wide settings, sets the number of
hits sufficient to consider a letter as spam to 6, orders to delete
spam, and puts the [email protected] email address to the black list.

plesk bin spamassassin.exe --update [email protected] -server-conf true -hits 6 -action del -blacklist add:[email protected]
