About 60% of the total e-mail traffic in The Internet is SPAM (unsolicited email). Here are some ways to eliminate some spam from your inbox:
* Change the default address for your account to ":fail: no such address here The default address is where all email will be delivered if the mailbox specified does not exist. For example, if an email were sent to info@yourdomain.com and there is no account for this address, the email will then be sent to the default address, which by default is your main account. If you change it to ":fail: no such address here", then it will be bounced back to the sender.
* Enable SpamAssassin SpamAssassin is located in the Control Panel under the "Mail" Icon. Enabling it will mark incoming emails as spam if they meet the required criteria. You can then configure SpamAssassin to rewrite the subject of the email to start with something like "*******SPAM*******". If SpamAssassin is correctly tagging your email with this subject, then you can create a filter to discard all emails with the subject containing "*******SPAM*******" After enabling Spam Assassin in order to stop recieving Spam Assassin emails, you must create an email filter to automatically discard these emails. To do so, follow these steps.
1)Login to cPanel
2)Click on 'Mail'
3)Click on 'Email Filtering'
4)Click on 'Add Filter'
5)In the Boxes provided, Change 'Subject' to 'Spam Assassin Spam Header'. Change 'contains' to 'begins with'. Type 'Yes' in the text box, and 'Discard' in the last box. This will stop any further Spam Assassin messages from finding their way into your inbox.
