How to Configure SpamAssassin Auto-delete?

Updated: 28 September 2026 · Applies to: cPanel & WHM 138 (Jupiter theme)

Auto-delete removes incoming messages with a very high spam score before they reach the mailbox. Set it high, so only obvious spam is deleted and borderline mail is still delivered and marked.

Steps

1. Log in to cPanel (for example at https://yourdomain.com:2083, or from the Ucartz client area).
2. Open Email › Spam Filters.
3. Make sure Process New Emails and Mark them as Spam is on.
4. Switch on Automatically Delete New Spam (Auto-Delete).
5. Click Configure Auto-Delete Settings and choose the Auto-Delete Threshold Score. We suggest 8 or higher; lower numbers delete more mail, including some real messages.
6. Click Update Auto-Delete Score.

Note: Deleted spam cannot be recovered. If important senders disappear, add them to the whitelist under Additional Configurations (For Advanced Users) or raise the threshold.
