This interface allows you to configure how your server filters all of the email that your domains’ email accounts receive.
Note We strongly recommend that you use multiple, simple filters instead of a single large filter. Exim, the server’s mail transfer agent, handles many small rules more efficiently than a single large rule.
Email filters will not process any email messages that are discarded before delivery. The system may discard some email messages before delivery if you select the Discard the email while your server processes it by SMTP time with an error message setting in cPanel’s Default Address interface (cPanel » Home » Email » Default Address).
