How to set an email filter

Email filters are different from the domain name forwarders due to the fact that the email filters` rules are applied before the message is received under the destination email account inbox. In this way you can filter a message to another account or discard it without actually receive it under the original destination mail box.

You can set an email account filter via the User level filtering icon in your cPanel.



On the next page, click on the Manage filters link next to the account for which you would like to apply custom rules and create a new filter via the button on the top.

In the edit filter section, please apply the match rule and the required action and active the filter.



If you would like to create a filter rule that will apply on all of your email accounts you can use the Account Level Filtering icon in your cPanel.



Be advised that all filters applied via the Account level filtering will apply before the user level filters and will affect all email accounts created under your hosting account.
