    Hi. Server is created based on Ispconfig3 Perfect Server for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. There is postfix/dovecot. I found out that Thunderbird does not mark emails as ***SPAM*** in subject line but the server does it. Anybody knows how to deal with it? Some mails are valuable for me. I found SpamAssasin conf file
    /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf on the server but there are only commented out lines:
    Code:
    #   Add *****SPAM***** to the Subject header of spam e-mails
    #
    # rewrite_header Subject *****SPAM*****
    
    PS
    Maybe I should add this domain marked as spam to whitelist in ISPconfig3? Btw I use ESET antivirus software.

    In ISPConfig panel go to Email tab, Spamfilter and Policy. More info in the manual.

    Thank you for answer. I will check it.

    PS
    Am I on good track/clue with thinking that SpamAssasin marks valuable mails as ***SPAM***? I checked place which you mentioned but there I see I am able to modify provided policies. I use "Normal" for each mail account and mail domain. What about "Whitelist" option?

    I think it is SpamAssassin that does the marking, but am not sure.
    If you want to get all mails no matter spam or viruses, choose for your mailbox the uncensored policy for Spamfilter.
    For the whitelist option, read manual chapter 4.7.3.1 Whitelist.

    Just as info: The emails are scanned and marked by amavisd-new and amavisd-new uses SpamAssassin internally (it loads the SpamAssassin libraries without the need to run spamd) for that.

    ISPConfig Panel, EMail, Spamfilter, Policy, Tag-Level tab. "Chapter 4.7.3.4 Policy" in Manual.

    I have edited the "Normal" Policy by turn off "SPAM modifies subject". Still some mails are tagged as ***SPAM***.
