Change SpamAssassin Spam Threshold Score

Here we discuss steps to change the SpamAssassin Spam Threshold Score.

Adjusting the Spam Threshold can be helpful if spam emails are not being flagged as such, or if legitimate email is being flagged as spam.

This is completed within the Spam Filters utility and access to cPanel will be needed to adjust this setting.
