Spam scrore in Hesctiacp exim

1

Hello,

We use Hestiacp. In Hestiacp admin panel, “spamassassin” and “clamav” servise is running.
But in the Exim file “nano /etc/exim4/exim4.conf.template” , I noticed that “spamassassin” and “clamav” are commented.

  • Does it mean “spamassassin” and “clamav” are not working?
  • Do we need to change the spam score?

# Exim configuration file for Hestia Control Panel

#SPAMASSASSIN = yes
#SPAM_SCORE = 50
#SPAM_REJECT_SCORE = 100
#CLAMD = yes

At least Exim is not using them. However, it’s strange that if you installed SpamAssassin and ClamAV during the Hestia installation, those lines are not uncommented. You should uncomment the four lines and restart Exim.

No, 50 is fine. Keep in mind that 50 in Exim means 5.0 in SpamAssassin. Exim doesn’t handle floating-point numbers, so it always multiplies the value by 10.
