How do I change the cPanel account Spam Assassin Default Score?

Question

Is there a way to change the Spam Assassin user preferences required_score quickly, or mass-change them all at once?

Answer

While there is no mass change option, you can utilize the cPanel UAPI, which allows you to quickly change the values. 

# uapi --user=user SpamAssassin update_user_preference preference=required_score value=10

For a list of options, please review the UAPI documentation here:  

UAPI SpamAssassin update_user_preference

If you would like to apply changes to newly created accounts, you can utilize the cPanel Skeleton directory by creating /root/cpanel3-skel/.spamassassin/user_prefs with the desired values. You can view further details on the cPanel Skeleton directory here:
