Issue:
The Spam Score and High Spam Score in MailWatch do not function. Spam is still triggered for the system-wide settings.
In addition, the Scan e-mail for Spam setting also does not bypass the spam check.
Cause:
eFa ships with this feature disabled. If it shipped enabled, People/users w/o an account set-up would not have email checked.
Steps to Enable:
1. Prerequisite:
Ensure that accounts exist for all persons receiving mail. This can be a challenge if the eFa appliance hosts multiple domains that do not share an authentication method. In this case, use the import capability (script) on the eFa website to import the user accounts.
If adding individiually:
web browser --> mailfilter.mindwatering.net --> login as the system admin --> TOOLS AND LINKS (menu item) --> Under Tools (heading) --> User Management --> click New User.
2. Enable:
a. Remote into the appliance:
$ ssh myadminid@mailfilter.mindwatering.net
<enter pwd if not using keys>
$ sudo su -
<enter pwd>
b. Run the configuration settings program and make the change:
$ eFa-Configure
In the menu:
- Choose 6) MailWatch Settings --> 4) Per User Scoring --> review the caution message, Would you like to ENABLE per user scoring? y/N/c
