  • The BIND DNS server has already been deprecated and removed from Plesk for Windows.
    If a Plesk for Windows server is still using BIND, the upgrade to Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70 will be unavailable until the administrator switches the DNS server to Microsoft DNS. We strongly recommend transitioning to Microsoft DNS within the next 6 weeks, before the Plesk 18.0.70 release.
  • The Horde component is removed from Plesk Installer. We recommend switching to another webmail software supported in Plesk.

Resolved Not identifying obvious spam?

Hi, I'm a relative newbie, so apologies if my query has an obvious answer, (I hope it does!)

We moved to a Plesk server for the first time a few months ago, and have been trying to configure our Spamassassin to the best results since. Mostly it's great, but there is one particular spam/scam email that we are still getting loads of (about 20 today alone) - it's one of these bitcoin pfishing type things - it's so clearly spam, so I'm trying to understand how to get Spamassasin to realise it's spam! Spamassasin score is set to 5.

In the source code there are a couple of bits of code related to 'autolearn' which look to me as though they are turned off somewhere but I may be reading this wrong. These are lines from the source code of one of these pesky emails:

X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.4.0 (2014-02-07) on (server name here)
X-Spam-Level:
X-Spam-Status: No, score=-86.9 required=5.0 tests=BAYES_50,BITCOIN_SPAM_01,
BITCOIN_SPAM_02,BITCOIN_SPAM_08,HEADER_FROM_DIFFERENT_DOMAINS,HTML_MESSAGE,
HTML_MIME_NO_HTML_TAG,HTML_SHRT_CMNT_OBFU_MANY,MALF_HTML_B64,MIME_BASE64_TEXT,
MIME_HTML_ONLY,NO_DNS_FOR_FROM,OBFUSCATING_COMMENT,OBFU_BITCOIN,RCVD_IN_PBL,
RCVD_IN_SORBS_DUL,RCVD_IN_XBL,RDNS_NONE,TO_IN_SUBJ,URIBL_BLOCKED,
USER_IN_WHITELIST autolearn=no autolearn_force=no version=3.4.0

Could anyone advise if there is a way to get Spamassassin to recognise these as spam please?
Any help appreciated!
