    We currently 'scan' incoming email for spam, the system then sets the subject to say if it believes the message is spam and it can move messages to a spam folder. This is based on the 'Spamassassin' software. We are now trying out an additional spam scanner called Rspamd.

    We will test this out through the following steps:

    1. Add headers to emails so we can compare the score - don't act upon the Rspamd at this point
    2. Start to act upon Rspamd scores - how we do this will depend on how Rspamd works out.

    Customers may be interested in comparing the spam scores of their email and we welcome any feedback - email in to support. We'll update this post with the progress.

    We are now adding additional Rspamd headers to incoming email.

    We are seeing good results with rspamd - eg, it's catching some spam messages that Spamassassin does not. We will start to use Rspamd along side Spamassassin for scoring and marking emails as spam.
