Full Version: How do I access the spam box

I am wondering how to access the Spam box when having Spam assassin/spam box enabled, so I can dump any emails in there. I'd prefer to do this from the webmail features, any help?

When enabling spambox, this message is shown:

Enabling the Spam Box feature will cause all mail marked by Spam Assassin as spam to be delivered to a separate mail box called 'spam'. You must use IMAP or Horde/IMP to check messages that are routed to this box.

Right, the only problem I have is I can't seem to figure out how to get to this "spam box". Trying to do this online I try to log into both email@domain.com/spam with password for that account as well as spam as the account name and I don't know for password.

If you log into cpanel, go into webmail, choose horde, login as root user..(your cpanel login), you can see all accounts... just choose it from the dropdown on the top right...

Perfect!! Thank you my friend.

No problem. Now just to clean those 350000000 messages, eh?

This is shown, but it isn't correct.

If you want to check via pop3, add /spam to your pop login to check the spam box. IE:

login/spam

for your main account or for a sub-pop account

login@domain.com/spam

Easy.

The "spam" mailbox is not created until someone sends you email which spamassassin directs to the spambox. You can either wait for this to happen (shouldn't take long), or create the file /home/user/domain/username/spam and protect it 660.
