You can create custom mail filters from Cpanel -> Mail -> E-mail Filtering.

===================================================================


User lever filtering

E-mail filtering allows you to select messages that contain certain strings of text or other symbols, and either discard them, or send them to another e-mail box of your choice.

Step 1: To access the user level filtering menu, click on the User Level Filtering icon on the main screen of your cPanel interface.

Account level filtering

Account level filtering is the same as user level filtering, with the only difference that the filters created here are applied globally for the whole cPanel account.

Important Type a message in the Filter Test box and click on Test Filter to see where the message will go. Use the word(s) from your filter(s) in this message to test if they work.

Important Please note that e-mail filtering does not leave a copy of the e-mail in the box you apply the filter for.
