Delete higher score, filter lower scroe
Using SA with cpanel.
What is the best way to have all spam scored 6 or higher deleted, while continuing to filter all identified ***SPAM*** scoring lower than that to a separate account?
It seems that if I tell SA to "auto-delete" at a certain level on the first configuration page, the additional filtering on the 2nd page is no longer applied...???
So, I turned OFF the "auto-delete" in spamassassin, and just set SA to mark ***SPAM*** for 5.0 or higher using the configuration on the 2nd page.
Then in cpanel, I added a rule for "all accounts" to send all messages scored 6 or higher to "spamkill <at>mydomain.com" (which is set up to delete all incoming mail). I did this because if I just set the rule to delete the messages directly, it ends up activating the "auto delete" option in spamassassin.
Then after that rule I am trying to forward all remaining ***SPAM*** to an account called "spam <at>mydomain.com" which is watched by one of our employees.
The idea is, get rid of all spam rated 6 or higher, so that ONLY spam rated 5-6 goes into the "spam <at>mydomain.com", making it easier and faster to scan through them.
The problem is, the same messages are ending up in BOTH "spamkill <at>mydomain.com" AND "spam <at>mydomain.com".
If it was working correctly, the ***SPAM*** that ends up in "spam <at>mydomain.com" should only have scores ranging from 5.0 to 5.9 (since I am routing all 6+ to "spamkill <at>mydomain.com").
Hope this makes sense. Any thoughts appreciated.

If you don't get an answer here, your best bet would be to ask on a
cpanel group. Any filtering / deleting / moving with SpamAssassin is
from cpanel, not SpamAssassin.
