I have seen a lot of users asking how to do automatically delete spam email instead of adding [SPAM] to the subject, and everyone who reply is with an MailScanner solution. So this is my solution in how to do it with SpamAssassin and procmail.

Just go to the user home folder,

For example lets say you want to delete spam email from 'testuser' at yourdomain.com

1. Change directory to the user home folder in the domain account


2. Edit or create .procmailrc (note de '.' at the begining)


3. Insert the following lines


4. Save file and Exit (Ctrl + X)


The next steps are optional but i really suggest you DO them

5. In the same user home folder change directory to .spamassassin


6. Edit the file user_prefs


7. Search for required_hits and change it to 10, this will help with false-positive emails.



This will make all emails marked as SPAM will be send to /dev/null, which will delete them.


NOTE: If someone knows how to add this as default user configuration, i mean that when you add a new user it will come with this steps included, please feel free to post it.



:: ALTERNATIVE ::

If you log in in your ensim user administration you can also modify this within the web gui.


Thanks for reading,

Feel free to comment/suggest.

Saving this post for further use, I am going to publish and script to do the steps above to all users at all domains.

just put the file in /etc/skel/ that will do.
