Apache SpamAssassin is a mail filter that identifies spam. An intelligent email filter uses various tests to identify unsolicited bulk email, more commonly known as spam. These tests examine email headers and content to classify emails with advanced statistical methods.

**1.** Log in to your cPanel Account.

**2.** In the **Email** section, click on **Spam Filters**.

**3.** Toggle **Process New Emails and Mark them as Spam** to enable it. If the knob/toggle is greyed out, this indicates that Apache SpamAssassin is disabled.

**4. **Enable **SpamBox** by clicking on **Move New Spam to a Separate Folder (Spam Box).**

From now on, spam messages with a spam score of 5 or higher will be automatically removed by Spam Assassin.
