# Configuring SpamAssassin

The SpamAssassin configuration is stored in the spamfilter and spamfilter_preferences tables of the psa database. You can manage it with the `%plesk_dir%admin\bin\spammng.exe` utility. It displays help if started without any options.

Server-wide SpamAssassin settings are stored in the following files:

The `%plesk_dir%Additional\Perl\site\var\spamassassin\3.003001\updates_spamassassin_org\*.cf` files contain configuration details, e.g. White list and Black list scores are assigned in the `50_scores.cf` configuration file.

- The `%plesk_dir%Additional\Perl\site\etc\mail\spamassassin\local.cf` stores server-wide filter settings.

Personal user settings are stored in the file `%plesk_dir%Additional\SpamAssassin\SpamFilterUserConfigsPath\<mailname>\user_prefs`.

For more information about the SpamAssassin configuration, refer to the respective documentation at http://spamassassin.apache.org/doc/Mail_SpamAssassin_Conf.html.

To apply changes in the configuration files, you should restart SpamAssassin with the following command:

    for /F "usebackq tokens=5" %i in (`cmd /c "netstat -aon | findstr 0.0.0.0:8783"`) do taskkill /F /PID %i
