Enabling Spam Assassin was very easy with bluehost.com. I clicked a few buttons to select the default settings and off it went. I was not surprised to see it quickly put almost all the mail into the spam folder.  <\/p>\n<p>A few days later when I had more time I configured Mailwasher Pro to read the spam folder.  Mailwasher Pro is my favorite tool to sift through spam for false positives and delete spam. I have trained Mailwasher to identify my &#8220;good&#8221; mail but I also use a combination of regex rules to catch the stuff that falls through the cracks.  I sent a couple emails to myself from different email accounts and the good stuff is getting through and the bad stuff is getting diverted.<\/p>\n<p>I have since looked at the statistics in Mailwasher Pro. Prior to the switch over I was deleting about 300 to 350 spam emails a day. After the switch over I had several days in which I deleted over 1000 spam emails a day. I am sure glad I am deleting this stuff on the mail server and not letting this junk steal my limited bandwidth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After moving our farm website over to bluehost.com I waw somewhat surprised to find out how much spam I was getting in the default account.
