Before you begin

Start by moving unwanted messages to a dedicated folder rather than deleting them automatically.

Enabling spam filters can be highly beneficial and even necessary in some cases. These filters are one of the anti-spam techniques designed to handle and remove unwanted messages and emails from your inbox.

Enable Spam Filters on cPanel

To enable the filter, follow these steps:

  1. Sign in to your cPanel account.
  2. Go to the Email section and click Spam Filters.
Accessing Spam Filters in cPanel

3- On the following page, enable or disable the options based on your preferences.

Check the result and troubleshoot

An overly strict rule can block legitimate mail. Check the Spam folder regularly and adjust the threshold gradually. Automatic deletion may be permanent; enable it only after observing the filtering results.
