Hello,
One of my clients is receiving spam from his email address. SpamAssassin is not marking it as spam. I have added an SPF record for the domain, but still gets these messages. Is there any workaround for this? I don't want to activate spambox for that.
Server is cPanel + CentOS 5.2

Its the perfect solution. You can enable it in WHM >> Exim Configuration Editor

SPF, RBL, all necessary parts of your anti-spam solution. You should also check out BATV - apart from that, you might want to consider finding a professional filter for this specific domain if you want to safe yourself some time, hassle of maintenance, etc. There are great reseller plans out there which won't cost you anything as a host and allow for offering your clients with an extra service.
Cheers and good luck with the problem!

| Posted by arbet, 11-26-2008, 08:25 AM | | My clients use a local mail server that fetches emails from the main email server. I am using the default cPanel configuration.
Should the local mail server also check for SPF records? A bit of background info is much appreciated.

Check your signature. The closing braces is not correctly set. The url link will not work fine.

I can't see how this might affect my situation. The client's email is being marked as legitimate, while in fact it is spam, not vice versa.

The main mail server should check the SPF records.
