One thing, my hosts say that I'm not able to do this if I'm on shared hosting - are you saying that there's a way to do this on shared hosting please ? Out of the ways that have been kindly recommended here, which one would be the easiest for a comparative newbie to do and for it to still be effective please ? Chris.

SA never, ever deletes mail, it only assigns scores to it. Talk to the hosting provider, ask if they can enable either of the linked plug-ins. IIRC, the relayclient one adds headers to say where the mail went through, so you can then use header rules in procmail or your mail client to handle that.

I will look into that - I would prefer the emails from some countries to not even reach my pc in the first place - so bearing that in mind, is procmail still recommended in this instance please ? If you have for example, a spam threshold of 5 and an email comes in with a score of 4, what happnes to that email ? I never see it, so I thought they got deleted ? Just been trying to find this thread on the message boards - but can't seem to be able to find it ? Am I looking in the right place please ? : http://www.nabble.com/SpamAssassin-f191.html Chris.

If your hosting provider offers procmail, yes. The may offer sieve or another filtering/delivery agent. If you have for example, a spam threshold of 5 and an email comes in with a score of 4, what happnes to that email ? I never see it, so I thought they got deleted ? Nothing should happen. That said, it depends on any customisations made by your hosting provider. Just been trying to find this thread on the message boards - but can't seem to be able to find it ? No idea - I'm using an e-mail client, not a web interface.

I do as well - but I thought there was also a message board of these threads viewable on the internet ?

If it's below the threshold, it may get a subject modification, it probably gets a new header or two. If it's above the threshold, it probably gets a new header or two, and then it's up to the hosting provider. Some may quarantine it, some may pass it through, some may bit bucket it. I do as well - but I thought there was also a message board of these threads viewable on the internet ? That might be Nabble, no idea. There are certainly quite a few web archives of the list.
