Spam filter showdown: SpamAssassin vs MagicSpam

Without a high quality spam filter, your mailbox can quite easily become overrun with hundreds of junk emails in a matter of days. As a solution to this we offer both MagicSpam and SpamAssassin as spam filtering modules within Plesk.

Although MagicSpam and SpamAssassin have similar goals they achieve them in largely different ways. SpamAssassin works by checking the content of each inbound email for certain keywords and phrases that are deemed suspicious. Whereas MagicSpam checks that the email was sent using best practice methods and that the sender isn’t listed on any email blacklist (DNSBL) as a known spammer.

When they’re installed and integrated with Plesk both solutions become incredibly easy to manage allowing them to be enabled, disabled and configured with the click of a button!
