Ok... well, now I know that if I do that, my email program will just download everything out of the SPAM folder. So that's no good. I'm wary of simply dumping it all to /dev/null, though routing everything that goes to the wildcard (aside from the few email addresses I use)  to it would be great. That accounts for something like 95% of all my spam right there. Well, that's an unresearched estimate, but it's probably close enough.

Will it cause a problem if I set it to, say, "/mail/SPAM"? Because just "SPAM" doesn't seem to show up on the folder list, though I can navigate to it by changing the URL manually, even though I created a SPAM folder, which seems to exist in /mail. That one DOES show up on the folder list, but is empty.

Would that be "/mail/Junk", in this example? or just "Junk"?

I'm assuming "Code:" is not part of what I should put in the file.

Well, I am accessing it via the webmail interface, so yeah, it may well be the ones in Squirrelmail. It's the only spam filter available to me that I'm aware of.

I've been trying to get the spam filter stuff to work for me, but it doesn't seem to be doing a thing. I do check my mail relatively often via SMTP, but I haven't noticed anything about that preventing the spam filter from functioning. I believe I have it set up correctly.

It does say "WARNING! Tell the administrator to set the "SpamFilters_YourHop" variable." on the spam filter config page. I'm assuming that's the problem? If not, what do I need to do to make it work?

The services I use:
Webserver
FTP
Email
Webmail
POP3
SMTP
Spam filtering
Wildcard email
Virtual Domains

All these aside from the webmail are what I would call "essential", at least to me. I very much like having the webmail access as well.

I've always been quite happy with the service. A long while back, it used to be slow, but I haven't noticed any problems in a long time. Upload speed seems to be rather slow, but I don't know if that's on my end or what. Usually that isn't a problem for me, but rarely I'll upload something large and I'll notice.

I'm afraid I don't know much about server security. I would definitely feel the loss of FTP access, but I imagine I could adapt. I've never used SCP before. Being limited to a web-based upload system would be very unpleasent though. I hope it doesn't come to that.
