AUTOMATICALLY DELETE ALL MAIL WITH A SPAM SCORE OF 5 OR MORE

1. Open your Control panel
2. Click Email -> Spam Assassin
3. Click Enable Spam Assasin
4. Click Email -> Spam Assassin
5. Click Configure (required to rewrite subjects)
6. In the box rewrite_header subject enter this: *****SPAM*****
7. Click Email -> Spam Filters
8. In the drop down boxes under Block mails when Select Subject and Contains.
9. In the box, type *****SPAM*****
10. In the Destination box type Discard.

What this all does:

* Any mail with a spam score of over 5 will have the word *****SPAM***** added
to the subject header (step 6).
* The filter will delete any mail with the word *****SPAM***** in the subject line.

If you DO NOT want to delete the SPAM mail omit steps 7,8,9 and 10. All spam mail will now be
delivered to the corresponding mailboxes BUT it will have the word *****SPAM**** in the subject line.
You can setup a mail filter on your mail client to move all emails containing this word to a
folder (spam typically) of your choice.
