But Web Apps is geared more towards websites that behave more like user applications. Personally I'd vote for Server Fault because SA is a pro-level product that benefits from pro-level administration, but they appear not to want it. SU does become a bit of a catch-all at times, and for that reason I would say it should be allowed here. | |

| Oct 1, 2018 at 6:44 | comment | added | fixer1234 | If you believe you can do it thru the local controls you've been given by your web host, I would think this would be on-topic here (although it isn't clear how helpful we can be; it may depend on what has been provided in your CPanel, which sounds like something under the web host's discretion). You would want to describe the issues raised and answered here in this question to avoid having to deal with them again on the main site. The first question people are likely to ask is did you contact your web host for advice and what did they say, so you might want to start there before posting. :-) | |

| Sep 30, 2018 at 9:31 | comment | added | Mawg | I do actually have control over it, via CPanel, and would have to configure it thus. I can't do anything at the client, as I use multipel clients, via IMAP, and am not aware that marking something as spam in a client would feed back to the server. If I mark at client, I need to make the same settings at all clients :-( | |

| Sep 30, 2018 at 4:09 | comment | added | Ramhound | @fixer1234 It’s not the author’s installation, so the question as currently written, would be the author cannot make this configuration change. My assumption is the author doesn’t have complete control over the Spam Assasin configuration. | |
| Sep 29, 2018 at 19:49 | comment | added | fixer1234 | I don't think it would violate site rules to post the question on SU, but I suspect the answer will be that you have no control over it via Spam Assassin at your end. The question to ask is how to do it using your email client. | |
| Sep 29, 2018 at 19:46 | comment | added | fixer1234 | It looks like Spam Assassin isn't intended as an out-of-the-box consumer application. It requires a lot of manual configuration by someone who knows what they're doing. It sounds like your ISP is running it on their servers to filter email before it gets to you. You may have access to some limited supplemental controls, but it doesn't sound like an application that's running on your own computer. My assumption would be that anything you might want to do that isn't visible to you is out of your control. The kind of granular control you describe is typically handled by your own email client. | |
