How-To Prevent Exim From Forwarding Spam

Introduction

This article covers configuring Exim to not forward mail based on the message's Apache SpamAssassin™ Spam score.

Procedure

1. Navigate to "WHM / Home / Service Configuration / Exim Configuration Manager"
   
2. Enable one of the following options:
   • "Do not forward mail to external recipients if it matches the Apache SpamAssassin™ internal spam_score setting"
     
   • "Do not forward mail to external recipients based on the defined Apache SpamAssassin™ score"
     

Please note, that both these options require that each user enable Apache SpamAssassin™ or "Apache SpamAssassin™: Forced Global ON" enabled.
