We have SpamAssassin activated for all domains, and it is setup to delete spam with a score of 10 and higher. Spam with score of 5 and higher is setup to be moved to spam folder in Roundcube webmail.
But what about email forwarders? Are they deleted when they have a score of 10 or higher? It seems not. Today I found a frozen email in "Mail Queue Administration", it was rejected by Gmail. In the header it SpamAssassin say it has a score of 30.5:
In above code [email protected] is the default/system email account for that user in DirectAdmin, and [email protected] is the email address setup in DirectAdmin as a forwarded, so that email to [email protected] is forwarded to [email protected]
The frozen email returned from Gmail is sent to a Gmail account because we have setup a email forwarder in DirectAdmin, the email forwarder is a forwarder for a DirectAdmin default/system email account. Is the behaviour of SpamAssassin correct? Should it not be deleted and not forwarded, or is this a weakness in SpamAssassin, that it will forward all email spam, and only stop email spam that is not going to a email forwarder?
