I think this is more a cPanel question than a spamassassin one. A very quick google pointed me towards https://documentation.cpanel.net/display/ALD/Apache+SpamAssassin After skimming that, it seems to me that your hosting provider (QIQ) needs to configure cPanel for you in order to have mail labeled as spam delivered (to your spam folder or otherwise). Also, in the default settings, mail labeled as spam by spamassassin is already dropped (auto-delete spam): you can only change the score threshold in the gui. So RTFM, try out some cPanel settings, and contact QIQ when you have a better understanding of what you can do yourself, and what cPanel should be able to provide given that QIQ does some tweaking for you. As far as the level of technical insights you've shown in your messages until now, I don't think it's useful (or fair) to get into the gory details of spamassassin config with you. I'm not being unfriendly but I'm guessing that you use cPanel for a reason: you're not the seasoned (e-mail) admin that is comfortable tinkering with command line and manual config file editing.
