For some reason spam on literally just one of my email accounts on a domain is not being delivered to my spam folder, but instead my inbox.

Literally its just one email account, the other email accounts on this same domain are working as expected, and all spam to it is being delivered to their appropriate spam folders.

What could I look at as to the culprit for why it is acting this way? SpamAssassin on this domain is enabled, and the option "Send the spam to the appropriate users's spam folder." is checked.

Thanks!
 
You could try deleting the email account and then recreate it. You would loose all mail in the mailbox with this solution, so make sure you save anything important.
 
Thanks, but thats not very feasible. The account having issues is mine, and I have several gigs of email =)


Any other ideas? Configuration I could be looking at?
 
Is this a system or virtual account? (is the email part of a DA user or just an email account?).

Check that /etc/virtual/domain.example/filter.conf has "where=userspamfolder", and this should be in /etc/virtual/domain.example/filter:
Code: 
[...]
    if
        $local_part is "username"
    then

        save /home/username/Maildir/.INBOX.spam/new/ 660
    else
        save /home/username/imap/$domain/$local_part/Maildir/.INBOX.spam/new/ 660

    endif
[...]
 
Thanks for your help!

This email account is part of a DA user.

Here are the files in question. They look okay to me, I changed my username go hidden and put some stars in some email addresses that are blacklisted, but other than that nothing was changed:


# Exim Filter

# created by DirectAdmin, version 1.32.3
# Do not modify this file as any changes will be
# overwritten when the user makes a change.
# (data is only written to this file, not read)

if error_message then finish endif


if
$h_X-Spam-Level: contains "**********"
then

endif


if
$header_from: contains "kaldiscoffeehouse@g***l.com"
then

endif





if
$h_X-Spam-Status: contains "Yes,"
then
if
$local_part is "hidden"
then

save /home/hidden/Maildir/.INBOX.spam/new/ 660
else
save /home/hidden/imap/$domain/$local_part/Maildir/.INBOX.spam/new/ 660

endif
finish
endif

I don't know what the heck it could be. Here is some headers from an email that was marked *****SPAM***** but dropped in my inbox instead of my spam folder:

Ok, I have a problem with spam and spam filter.

It should be for each domain :
Code: 
[...]
    if
        $local_part is "username"
    then

        save /home/username/Maildir/.INBOX.spam/new/ 660
    else
        save /home/username/imap/$domain/$local_part/Maildir/.INBOX.spam/new/ 660

    endif
[...]

but it is :
Code: 
[...]
   if
	$header_subject: contains "casino" or $message_headers contains "casino" or $message_body: contains "casino"
then
	save /home/username/Maildir/.INBOX.spam/new/ 660
	finish
endif

[...]

So how to change it for each domain ? And what to do to have the good code in new domains I create.
Because actually, spam detected by spam filters are not readable for users, because not send in the good directory.

Thanks for your help
 
I reply to myself...

I try to change it by hand, but as it his written in the filter file, DA rewrite file when I add word in spam filter...

So I have to find the file that DA used to overwrite filter and filter.conf files

Thanks for your help
 
Hello,

Go to:
User Level -> SpamAssassin Setup

Select:
Send the spam to the appropriate users's spam folder

right now, you would have this selected:
Redirect it to the catch-all ~/.spamassassin/spam folder.(or whatever the text for Maildir is)

Thanks !
It was very easy to solve... So much time lost for that...

But I was working on a french panel, and the translation wasn't so clear ! With english version, that's clear.

Thanks again :)
