How To Create An Email Filter In cPanel

Below are the steps to create an email filter in cPanel

3. You’ll now be shown a list of email accounts, where you can select the email account you’d like to set up a filter for.

4. Click Manage Filters beside the email address.

5. You’ll now see any existing email filters if you have any.

6. Now click Create Filter to create a new filter.

Creating a Filter

First, enter the name for your new email filter (this is purely for your own reference).

Now, look at the Rules section.

From the first drop-down menu, select the start of the rule that you’d like to use, to determine which emails should be filtered.

After choosing the first criteria, go to the second drop-down menu and select the relevant rule.

Now that you’ve selected the rule, scroll down and look at the Actions area. This is what the email filter will do to the email once it’s been picked up by the filter.

Select your choice from the drop-down menu, and click Create to finish setting up the filter.
