E-mail Filtering in cPanel at eHostPros

1. Login to your cPanel at eHostPros
2. Click on the E-mail Filtering link in the Mail area.
3. Click on the Add Filter link.
4. Click on the required header field in the first drop-down list. These are the various fields in any e-mail message.
5. Click on the required filter action in the second drop-down list. This action will act on the text entered in the third field.
   • equals – match the text exactly (whole words only). “Credit” will block “Credit”.
   • matches regex – matches the text based on regular expression (regex) rules. Regular expressions are a powerful but complex area. You do not need to use regular expression filters for most circumstances.
   • contains – match the specified text in any circumstance. “porn” will block “porn” and “pornography”.
   • begins with – match the specified text when it is the beginning of a word. “porn” will block “porn” and “pornography” but not “teenporn”.
6. Enter the filter text in the third field. This text is case sensitive.
7. Enter the destination for the filtered e-mail in the Destination field. There are three separate types of destination:
   • Destroy the e-mail – Enter Discard in the field.
   • Redirect to another address – Enter the e-mail address to which to redirect the e-mail.
   • Redirect to a script – Enter the full script path on the machine that hosts your website.
8. Click on the Activate button.
