Global Email Filters apply to all mail for your cPanel account, before it reaches any mailbox. Use them to discard or redirect messages by sender, subject, content or spam score. (To filter a single mailbox, use Email › Email Filters.)
Create a filter
- Log in to cPanel (for example at
https://yourdomain.com:2083, or from the Ucartz client area). - Open Email › Global Email Filters and click Create a New Filter.
- Enter a Filter Name.
- Set the rule: choose the part of the message (for example From, Subject, Body or Spam Score), an operator (such as contains or equals) and the text to match. Use + to add more rules with and / or.
- Choose the action: Discard Message, Redirect to Email, Fail With Message, Deliver to Folder, Pipe to a Program or Stop Processing Rules.
- Click Create.
Test it
Under Filter Test on the same page, paste a sample message with headers and click Test Filter to see which rules match.
Note: Discard Message deletes mail without a trace. Test new filters with Deliver to Folder first.
