    Hi guys,

    How can I configure the ISPConfig + Spamassasin to avoid this kind of spam?

    Code:

    You can configure SpamAssassin to assign higher scores for the tests FH_FROMEML_NOTLD,
    INVALID_DATE,
    RDNS_NONE
    and then I'd lower the score from which emails are considered spam. You're using 9.0 points which is really high. I'd use 5.0 or 4.0 points instead.

    You can add something like this to /home/admispconfig/ispconfig/tools/spamassassin/etc/mail/local.cf:

    Code:
    score   FH_FROMEML_NOTLD    2.0
    score   INVALID_DATE               2.0
    score   RDNS_NONEB           2.0
    You can adjust the scores to whatever you like.

    Have I restart the ISPConfig?

    No, that's not necessary.
