I use QiQ.co.uk for web hosting and associated e-mail

In view of the fact that some of my domains are increasingly
inundated with spam, I would like to reduce the SpamAssassin
score from the default value of 5 to a lower value, in order
to make SpamAssassin more 'aggressive'. However, I don't
really want to enable Spam Auto-Delete because I want to be
able to check the spam folder for false positives, but
apparently there is no way to change the setting without
simultaneously enabling the "Spam Auto-Delete" function.
Am I missing something?
Thank you

You'll need to ask QiQ. SA is only a classifier. It takes an
email as input and outputs score results, plus a modified
email with spam headers.
I would also caution against lowering the score threshold more
than 0.5 or so. There's a point where it goes from "catching
more spam" to "catching more of everything".
Thanks for your reply.
I already asked QiQ support. They asked me to ask SA :-)
Here is their reply:
I will take a look at the filter but would imagine if that is
how Spam Assassin made the program that way, then there is
nothing we can do to change it, though contacting Spam
Assassin for advice may be the way forward, as we do not
provide Spam Assassin, it is a part of cPanel - both third
party programs.
The question remains: How can I change the SA score without
simultaneously enabling the "Spam Auto-Delete" function?
Perhaps I need to ask cPanel support?

Quite likely. I am not familiar enough with cPanel to know the
level of configuration it gives, but my educated guess would be
that it's up to QiQ to configure their install of cPanel. It
shouldn't hurt to ask cPanel people anyway, even if it's just for
them to say exactly what options QiQ should set that opens the
option to classify without discard.
Ooops, I didn't realise I had replied privately. Thanks for your
further reply.
Is there another way to access the SA score setting, outside cPanel?
