Is Your Spam Getting Out Of Hand? All email at MWDHosting.com is scanned for both Spam and viruses, but there are things that you can do for your own domain to help curb the flow of unwanted emails. Here are 3 steps to ensure you don't have to deal with more junk than you have to: 1) Setup a 'Blackhole' catch-all In your cPanel first click on the 'Mail' icon. From here click on 'Default Address'. Enter in :blackhole: (including the colons) and hit the change button. What this does is in the case of spam being sent to non-existent email addresses at your domain it is deleted. 2) Setup an E-Mail filter (for redirection of the spam "optional") In your cPanel first click on the 'Mail' icon. From here click on E-Mail Filtering. Click on 'Add Filter' . Now select SpamAssasin Spam Header from the first drop down menu and 'Begins With' from the second drop down menu.In the third field type Yes, and then click activate. 3) Turn on / Setup SpamAssasin In your cPanel first click on the 'Mail' icon. From here click on Spam Assasin. If your SpamAssasin is not already enabled then click the 'Enable Spam Assasin' button. After that make sure your rewrites are enabled by clicking on 'Configure Spam Assasin (required to rewrite subjects)' and make sure to fill in the line titled 'rewrite_header subject' with a phrase that then can be used to set up a filter for use with your email program(s). By utilizing any of these three steps you will noticably reduce the number of unwanted emails in you inbox. |
