SquirrelMail Features – Filters and Passwords

If you’re getting a lot of spam, you can filter it.  SpamAssassin already detects the spam and clearly tags it for you… You just need to do something with those tags.

  1. Click on Filters in SquirrelMail.  
  2. Click on Add New Rule
  3. Make a rule like this:  Header | Subject | contains| [SPAM]
  4. Choose an action of “discard silently” or “move to folder”
  5. Hit save!

Enjoy!  There are more ways to filter spam… take a look at full header of an email sometime and you can see all of the wonderful headers that SpamAssassin puts in your mail.

I also added a plug-in to let you change your password from SquirrelMail.  You’ll find it on the Options page.  CentOS has some pretty paranoid default password restrictions, and I have no idea how t change them yet.  But you should be able to come up with something more memorable than the random one I generated for you.
