Rspamd vs user_prefs file

#1

Hi guys,
I would like to know what is possible to configure for users in spamassassins user_prefs file. I know you are using rspamd but I haven’t found anything on directadmin forums related to connection between rspamd and user_prefs file.
My questions:
It is possible to change spam score for specific symbol within the file?
How should I define spam ignore for example for domain *@example.com?

If you can help me with above or you have some guide about that I would be thankful :slight_smile:
Thank you a lot for your service… it’s awesome :wink:

Great question!

The interface in DirectAdmin (Spamassassin Setup) is used to write to the user_prefs file, which is then translated into a user preference file for rspamd. Any manual configurations outside of what is there would not translate properly to rspamd. For example, wildcards are removed in translation for rspamd as they are not supported.

No additional manual configuration of spam filters would function at the user level. However, if you wish to contribute to our rspamd inbound filters, you can find pieces of it in the repositories here:

https://git.mxroute.com/jarland

Examples:
Spammy subjects - https://git.mxroute.com/jarland/rspamd_locald/src/branch/master/spammy_subject.map
Spammy From headers - https://git.mxroute.com/jarland/rspamd_locald/src/branch/master/spammy_from.map
(This uses regex)

Accepted pull requests are pushed to the servers every hour. The idea behind these filters are to focus purely on common trends that deserve outright rejection.

You can also use sieve filters to gain more control over your email. This is either accomplished by an external client over port 4190, or through Roundcube under Settings > Filters.

I see that SpamAssassin nos not enabled by default on newly created accounts. Should it be enabled if rspamd is the actual engine? Perhaps for customization with the interface you mentioned?

@nxAdmin If you want any filtering you’ll want to enable it and set it based on your preferences. While I have a reject layer above the control of that, I’m going to let a lot of spam through and send it directly to your inbox by default.
