Hi guys, have a problem with spam email’s I receive more than a hundred spam messages a day. How I can block it’s emailes? Th..you
Hi,
You should train SpamAssassin to better detect spam (you should also train it with ham, indeed, more ham than spam to get better results). Could you please show the headers of a couple of those messages? I’m interested in the spam report.
ok here

SpamAssassin is trying to check the mail against validity.com, but for a long time they have been restricting queries, so you should disable those checks because they are subtracting 3.7 points from the final score, making it harder to detect spam.
You should also disable Mailspike and optional DNSWL checks as well.
