• What is Spam Assassin and Spam Box [Linux]?
  Spamassassin is an opensource spam filter software program.
  
  The Spambox option is for spamassassin to delivery spam messages to an IMAP folder. IF you enable spambox, pop based webmail clients can't see the new IMAP folder. Best thing to do in this situation is to enable Subject rewrites and use that in a filter.
  
   

• What does Subject rewrites and use that in a filter do and how do i enable it [Linux]?
  Subject rewrite converts the subject of the email to make spam more noticeable.
  
  Example:
  
  Subject: I love SPAM, it's better than viagra!
  <---Processed by Spam Assassin--->
  Subject: *****SPAM***** I love SPAM, it's better than viagra!
  
  So you can do a Subject search for SPAM and automatically delete it using a inbound filter/rule (different term depending on your software)
  
  Otherwise, you have to scan for header: X-Spam-Flag which is set to Yes when it hits your threshhold.
  
   

• What do I use for my POP3 (incoming)/SMTP (outgoing) mail server?
  You should use mail.yourdomain.com for POP/SMTP Server.
  
   

• Do you count email space towards my allotted space?
  Yes. Any e-mail you have stored on the server counts as storage for your account, therefore, we recommend not storing e-mail on the server. Once you download and read your mail, you should ensure that your e-mail client deletes the mail from the server.
