Overview
- This document is only valid for cPanel & WHM version 11.52 and earlier. We removed the Old-Style Spam System setting and its functionality in cPanel & WHM version 54.
- Because these steps only apply to unsupported versions of cPanel & WHM, cPanel Technical Support can’t help you configure these settings.
The Apache SpamAssassin™ Report_Safe setting allows you to modify how Apache SpamAssassin alerts email recipients that an email failed its spam tests. You can configure this setting in the /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf global configuration file.
