    There are two potential problems when it comes to using your own mailserver and spam: spam email being sent to your account and spam email being sent from your account. The free program SpamAssassin can reduce how much spam email gets to your inbox. SpamAssassin assigns a score to each email you receive. Then, based on your settings, it rejects email that scores too high. The scoring is from 0 to 10, with 0 having the strictest rules and 10 having the most relaxed rules.
