Huge Spam Problem... please I need some help!

[principino1984]

Hi guys,

I'm having a huge problem with some nigerian ip that is spamming with my email address... in the last half an hour I received more than 2000 bounce email.

How do I set spam assassins or something like that to simply delete or drop the email without let the server email me as ****spam****???

This is the email header:

In SpamAssassin setup into your directadmin panel you should have an option to choose between

- send spam to mailbox
- send spam to spam box
- delete mail

check the 3rd will delete everything he define as spam

 

[principino1984]

That function is not working at all! I still get all the spam email in my inbox folder!

 

[SeLLeRoNe]

check if in exim.conf is enable spamassassin section

 

[principino1984]

it seems to be enabled since spamassassins rename the mail as ****spam***** etc etc ...

but it doesn't work the Delete function.

Right, have you tryed to reinstall SpamAssasin?

Have you tryed to change configuration into directadmin form "delete spam" to "move spam to spambox" and then configure it back?

never tried to reinstall SpamAssassins ...

yup... I already did everything you're saying.

ps. is there a way to completely block a domain name for emails? I'm receiving all the emails from the domain @eyou.net

 

[SeLLeRoNe]

yes, in antispam filter you can add the entire domain to blacklist.

 

[frankc420]

If you go into DA and look under Spamassassin Setup you should see two large boxes, one is for whitelist and other for blacklist. The instructions on how to whitelist/blacklist all mail from an email address or domain.

To block all mail from ex yahoo.com you would put *@yahoo.com in the blacklist box. Keep in mind it only works on the domains under that account.

SpamAssassin doesn't block email. It can't, because it's already got the email before it looks at it.

You should probably look into the SpamBlocker Technology features of your exim.conf file. If you've got spamblocking turned on for a domain, then you can actually block (before the mail even gets on your server) based on sender address, sender's domain name, or mailserver.
