==== Accessing the Rspamd Interface ====

To access the Rspamd web interface, you need to be logged in as an administrator on Mailcow. Here’s how you do it:

# Go to <code>http://your-mailcow-address/admin</code>
# Enter your admin password
# Navigate to '''System &gt; Configuration &gt; Actions &gt; Rspamd'''
# Set your password for Rspamd

Once you’re in, you can train the system manually and upload things for it to learn from.

==== Accessing YOUR inbox’s spam controls ====

# Log into the Mailcow interface with your EMAIL USERNAME &amp; PASSWORD, NOT AS ADMIN
# Go to '''Email → Spam Filter'''
# Slide the slidy thingy &amp; have fun :)

To set the spam controls for your specific account, log in as your USER to the web interface, not an admin.

==== pfBlockerNG for spam prevention ====

Remember when we set up '''pfBlockerNG''' in our '''pfSense''' router?

'''pfBlockerNG''' has IPv4 blocklists like Lashback that are great for reducing spam from known bad actors, such as people who explicitly send email to addresses that they know are on ''“unsubscribe”'' lists. If you use '''pfBlockerNG''' with these lists, when servers with IPs on these blocklists try to send you mail on port 25, they will be blocked ''at the router level'' before these known bad actors even make their way to your <code>mailcow</code> server or spam filter.

Take a look at these lists. They are incredibly useful!
