# SpamExperts is being retired
Source: https://docs.webgee.com/en/email/spamexperts-retirement



SpamExperts is being withdrawn as WebGee's inbound spam filtering service.
Inbound mail is now filtered by **MailScanner and SpamAssassin**, which runs on
the mail servers themselves.

**There is nothing you need to configure.** Filtering applies to every mailbox
automatically — no MX record changes, no separate control panel, no per-domain
enablement.

  This page replaces fourteen separate SpamExperts articles. If you followed a
  link or a bookmark to one of them, this is where it now leads.

## What changes for you [#what-changes-for-you]

| Previously, in SpamExperts             | Now                                                   |
| -------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| Enable filtering per domain            | Automatic on every mailbox                            |
| Point MX records at SpamExperts        | MX records point at WebGee mail servers               |
| Check the SpamExperts quarantine       | Suspected spam arrives tagged `{Spam?}` in your inbox |
| Quarantine digest emails               | Not applicable — nothing is quarantined               |
| Whitelist and blacklist in SpamExperts | Filter on the `{Spam?}` tag in your mail client       |
| Separate SpamExperts login             | Not applicable                                        |

The most visible difference: mail that is *probably* spam is delivered to you
with `{Spam?}` added to its subject line, rather than being held in a quarantine
you have to check. Mail that is almost certainly spam is rejected outright and
never delivered.

## What you should do [#what-you-should-do]

1. **Remove any SpamExperts MX records** still on your domains. Your MX records
   should point at WebGee's mail servers — see
   [Configure email routing in cPanel](/en/email/how-do-i-configure-my-email-routing-in-cpanel).
2. **Recreate your rules locally.** Whitelists and blacklists held in
   SpamExperts do not carry over. Filter on the `{Spam?}` subject tag in your
   mail client, or in webmail under **Filters**.
3. **Check your quarantine before access ends** if you have not already, in case
   something legitimate is sitting in it.

## How filtering works now [#how-filtering-works-now]

See [Spam and virus filtering](/en/email/spam-and-virus-filtering) for what is
scanned, what the `{Spam?}` and `{Disarmed}` subject tags mean, and which
attachment types are blocked.

For per-domain tuning of SpamAssassin thresholds, see
[Configure MailScanner in cPanel](/en/email/configure-mailscanner).

## If legitimate mail is being tagged as spam [#if-legitimate-mail-is-being-tagged-as-spam]

That is now handled entirely differently — see
[Why are my emails being marked as spam?](/en/email/why-are-my-emails-being-marked-as-spam).
