To set up the Auto-Delete feature for spam in Esadax's system, follow these organized steps:

1. Enable Auto-Delete:

   • Navigate to the "Automatically Delete New Spam (Auto-Delete)" widget and toggle it on.

2. Configure Auto-Delete Threshold:

   • Use the "Auto-Delete Threshold Score" setting to define the score at which new spam emails are automatically deleted.
   • Note: This is separate from the Spam Threshold Score, so adjust accordingly without overlap.

3. Whitelist and Blacklist Management:

   • Go to "Additional Configurations > Whitelist/Blacklist."
   • Whitelist: Add email addresses or domains that should always be allowed, even if flagged by SpamAssassin.
     • Use file-glob patterns: e.g., example@test.com, *@test.com, or *.test.com.
     • Allowed characters: * and ?; avoid other metacharacters.
   • Blacklist: Add addresses to be marked as spam, ensuring they are sent to the spam folder.
     • Use similar patterns but consider the impact on legitimate emails.

4. Adjust SpamAssassin Scores:

   • Each email is scored by SpamAssassin; configure individual test scores.
   • Lower scores increase filter restrictiveness; test with known examples to refine settings.

5. Review and Test:

   • Ensure all configurations are correctly set without unintended effects.
   • Test with both spam and non-spam emails to validate the system's behavior.
