I posted this to another user last month....


I don't know anything about the programming internals of Cpanel, but I do
have several Cpanel admin (website) accounts.

So, generally speaking...

Cpanel uses a very very basic implementation of SA.

It is best not to even use it IMO. It is nearly worthless. It does not have
most tests enabled that the full SA does, when setup correctly. It also does
not use bayes. What you see in Cpanel for SA is what you get.

Remember, with Cpanel you are sharing a SINGLE server with many other
websites in a shared hosting environment. That is why Cpanel has to set it
up so generic.

It would be best to put a real SA server in front of your Cpanel inbound
email server. Set it up the way you want it for your domain. The SA server
can be at a different location, and use Postfix transport map to send the SA
filtered email back to the Cpanel server for delivery. Disable Cpanel SA
implementation all together. (that is how I run it)
