Overview<\/h2>\n

This document explains how to create mail filter rules in cPanel\u2019s Mailing Lists<\/em> interface (cPanel >> Home >> Email >> Mailing Lists<\/em>). Mail filters allow you to control which email messages your server delivers.<\/p>\n

Create a mail filter rule<\/h2>\n
\n
Important:<\/div>\n
\n
    \n
  • Mailman\u2019s Spam Filters<\/em> feature requires<\/strong> that you enable spam filters. To enable Apache SpamAssassin\u2122 for your cPanel account, select Enable Apache SpamAssassin<\/em> in cPanel\u2019s Spam Filters<\/em> interface (cPanel >> Home >> Email >> Spam Filters<\/em>).<\/li>\n
  • Generally, the recipient does not<\/strong> receive the BCC<\/code> field in an email\u2019s header. For this reason, you cannot<\/strong> use the BCC<\/code> field in a filter.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    To control which email messages your server delivers to your mailing lists, use Mailman\u2019s Spam filters<\/em> interface. To create a mail filter rule with the Header filters<\/em> section of the Spam filters<\/em> interface, perform the following steps:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n

      Access Mailman\u2019s Spam filters<\/em> interface. To do this, perform the follow steps:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Navigate to cPanel\u2019s Mailing Lists<\/em> interface (cPanel >> Home >> Email >> Mailing Lists<\/em>).<\/li>\n
      2. Click Manage<\/em> for the mailing list that you wish to edit. A new interface will appear.<\/li>\n
      3. In the Configuration Categories<\/em> section at the top, click Privacy options<\/em>.<\/li>\n
      4. Click Spam filters<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
      5. \n

        In the Spam Filter Rule 1<\/em> text box, enter a regular expression (regex) that matches the messages to which to apply an action. For example:<\/p>\n

        X-Spam-Status:s+Yes\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
        \n
        Notes:<\/div>\n
        \n
          \n
        • This example applies to any message that SpamAssassin scores as spam.<\/li>\n
        • The number of plus sign characters (+<\/code>) indicates the Apache SpamAssassin spam score.<\/li>\n
        • Apache SpamAssassin adds information to the header of each mail message that it reviews. You can use this information to determine which mail filter rules to use.<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
        • \n
          Next to Action:<\/em>, select the action for Mailman to perform on the messages that match the filter. You can select the following settings:<\/p>\n
            \n
          • Defer<\/em> \u2014 Disable the filter rule.<\/li>\n
          • Hold<\/em> \u2014 Hold the messages that match the filter rule until a moderator approves it.<\/li>\n
          • Reject<\/em> \u2014 Reject the messages that match the filter rule.<\/li>\n
          • Discard<\/em> \u2014 Delete the messages that match the filter rule.<\/li>\n
          • Accept<\/em> \u2014 Accept the messages that match the filter rule.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n

            Note:<\/div>\n
            \n
            A moderator of the mailing list must<\/strong> approve the messages that match any spam filters in the Legacy anti-spam filters<\/em> section of the Spam filters<\/em> interface.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
