A good friend and I run a hosting vps with cPanel and it always seems that their is always an issue with the spam filtering not filtering through all the emails. I too have seen this issue, even though I had it configured properly.

What is Xeams? Xeams is a mail server/spam filtering that right out of the box blocks over 90% of the spam. Very simple to install as well as maintain.

Our setup, we have Xeams installed along the side of cPanel. We changed the port in Exim (smtp server) to port 125. We set up smtp proxy (the spam filtering) to listen to port 25 (typical port for SMTP) and to direct the mail to port 125 (port that we set for Exim). So, anytime mail is received, it passes through Xeams then passes it on. It is a pain to keep track of until Xeams finishes learning what is spam and what is not. We did set up an account for cPanel reseller account, so just incase mail gets blocked, the reseller can unblock it. You can also set up each mail account to have access to setting their own filters as well as restore any emails that were blocked.

Working Flawless as I would not expect anything less than this.

I also installed this on Sentora so this tells me that any mail server you can set up with Xeams.
