SpamAssassin plugins for DKIM, SPF and DMARC
Do the SpamAssassin plugins for DKIM, SPF and DMARC come with the stock build of cPanel? Or do they cost extra?

Hey there! cPanel doesn't officially support any plugins for that tool, so I can't say for sure. If there is an additional cost, it wouldn't be paid to us.

SpamAssassin's version provided by cPanel is 4.0.1 and it has all SpamAssassin plugins.
Unfortunately cPanel stock build is missing some config files that can be retrieved upstream.
Missing files are (at least):- https://github.com/apache/spamassassin/blob/trunk/rules/v400.pre
- https://github.com/apache/spamassassin/blob/trunk/rules/v401.pre
Those files should be downloaded into /etc/mail/spamassassin folder on the cPanel server.

I see that v400.pre addresses DMARC, but not SPF and DKIM.
- loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::DMARC
Can these be added to v400.pre?
- loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::SPF
- loadplugin Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin::DKIM

On our servers, SPF plugin is loaded from init.pre and DKIM plugin from v312.pre

That is interesting. I don't know much about this. I suppose they are loaded at different times, or else it would make sense that the three are loaded at the same time, in the same .PRE file.

I hate it when people say they are "unable" or "cannot" do something when the truth is they have chosen not to, and they won't give the reasons.
That's the case with my email/webhost. It's a shared server so they "cannot" enable the SpamAssassin plugins for DKIM, SPF and DMARC.
I'm going to assume that using those plugins is problematic, and they want to avoid that with the others using the server. If they had told me that I would have respected them, and might have thanked them for letting me know they were more trouble than they were worth. Instead they string me along with "unable", so I search for a solution that they don't want.
Maybe those plugins for SpamAssassin are useful, but the hosting company doesn't want their customers to use them for another reason. Like a stupid reason.

Bruce Johnson there are not loaded from the same file because originally they have been developed in different times and they are part of different SpamAssassin releases.
