I'm getting slammed with spam that's 90% written in chinese (or at least the subjects are). Is there a way that I can automatically reject any email that's not written in a latin characters or the english language?

thank you

You need 'ok_locales' in SpamAssassin config file. For example:

# File: /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf
# only allow English
ok_locales en

Reference: http://spamassassin.apache.org/full/3.2 … _Conf.html (Search 'ok_locales')

Yes, I have it in there, but they still (mostly) go to spam. I would like the server to reject them.

# Locales.
ok_locales          en

Oh, sorry about my misunderstood.

*) If you want to discard received spam for yourself, you can add a filter in Roundcube webmail (Settings -> Filters) to discard them.
*) If you want to reject spam emails directly during SMTP session, try this:
