 How Do I Block Unwanted Email? --You can block an email using spam filters. There are many definitions of spam, but one of the most useful ones is the following: "Spam: unsolicited email, usually of a commercial nature." Spam is the electronic version of junk mail, and has been around since the Internet was created. Spam filters are a way of filtering your email to remove unwanted mail based on a variety of criteria. You can block any sort of email, not just mail of a commercial nature. Blocked mail is deleted automatically - it does not even bounce back to the sender. These filters are quite flexible - some examples are provided after the instruction on how to add a spam filter below. All filters are cumulative. To add a spam filter: Click on the Block an E-mail link in the Mail Menu area. Click on the [Add Filter] link. Click on the required header field in the first drop-down list. These are the various fields in any email message. 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". Enter the filter text in the third field. This text is case sensitive. Click on the [Activate] button. Example: To block all email from "johndoe@somewhere.net", enter: From, equals, johndoe@somewhere.net To block all email from somewhere.net, enter: From, contains, paradise.net To block all references to pornography, enter: Any Header, contains, porn >Can I Access My Webmail Without Going Through Cpanel? - http:// yourdomain.com /webmail/ -Enter your full email address and password and click enter. ** replace "yourdomain.com" with your domain name. Enter email address (user) and password associated with that email address for the popup login screen. It is NOT asking for your Cpanel login details, just an email account information. For example: You want to check your email for account fred@domain.com . You would type http://yourdomain.com/webmail in your web browser. A popup would appear asking for username and password. You would enter "johndoe@somewhere.net" as the username. Then, you would enter the password for that email account. After you login, you will be able to choose which webmail client to use.
