Hi,

Our PMG does not filtering well incoming mails. A lot of SPAM have a SA score to 0/5.

In order to enhance mail filtering, i've add schaal-it ruleset via this tutorial :
https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/a...ay-especially-spam-and-virus-detection.44152/

apt-get install re2c
cd /etc/cron.hourly && wget sa.schaal-it.net/sa-update && chown root.root sa-update && chmod 755 sa-update
vi sa-update

How can i check if it is active ?
Can i add it in a better way in order to see update availability in GUI ?

Thanks

check out the getting started article in the pmg wiki (with all linked pages there):
https://pmg.proxmox.com/wiki/index.php/Getting_started_with_Proxmox_Mail_Gateway
This is usually enough to get quite good detection rates.

If this does not help p lease share some logs - especially the lines from pmg-smtp-filter which indicate which SpamAssassin rules hit - maybe there is something else where your config can be improved.

regarding adding additional spamassassin channels to PMG

you can of course modify and configure this manually - but I would at least consider not using precompiled rules for spamassassin.
(it has caused quite a few installations some issues with broken updates, and thus not running)

I hope this helps!
