Blocking Unwanted Email Messages:

 

From time to time, you may experience either a junk mailer or some other menacing individual whom keeps sending you annoying email messages. C-Panel has a built in feature, which allows you to block these email messages in a multitude of different ways. You can block them by:

- Sender
- Subject
- Message Header
- Message Body

Of course, if all you want to do is block one specific email address, then you don't have to worry about getting fancy with it - just enter the email address to be blocked, and that's it, done!
 

How to use the block email function:

 

You can block unwanted email according to email address, subject, any header, recipient, or even phrases inside the body of the message. 

 

 

Just use the drop down menus to choose what you want blocked. 

 

For example, you might want to filter out porn sites. You could choose "subject", "body" or "any header" from the first drop down menu, and "contains" from the second drop down menu. Then type a phrase or word that frequently appears in the header or body of email you receive that promotes porn sites. 

 

 

To block email from a specific source, just choose From in the first drop down menu, then "equals" from the second menu. Type in the person's email address in the box and click "activate."

 

Advanced Blocking:

For those of who whom experience frequent problems with junk email messages, you'll be please to see this option provides a broad range of blocking options. Instead of having us try to explain every last one of them here, this is a feature you'll really want to experiment with yourself.

 

Doing so, will allow you to become familiar with the ways that email can be blocked, and will also help you with customizing a recipe that works best for your domain. 

 

Play around with the settings, and try to block words, or phrases based on the From Name, Subject, or Message Body Text. 

Now, send an email to your account and see if the terms and criteria you selected are providing the filtering you want.  

It may take a little time to master, but it's fun, and a great way to broaden your abilities on web site administration. 

 

FINAL NOTE: If you're totally new to email blocking, and wish to explore its full potential, we highly suggest you test it before launching your site. This way, you don't have to worry about accidentally disrupting email for your entire domain.

 

Hint: Unless you're 100% sure of what a setting will do, always delete it when you're finished, or until you have time to run a series of tests on it. You want to ensure it's blocking what it's supposed to, and not legitimate email messages!
