Email sending restriction

Tarak Nath
Hello, Can we restrict certain mail accounts in my domain so that they can not send email to a forwarder email ID. Current situation: We have a forwarder email ID all@mydomain.com (without inbox). If any mail sent to all@mydomain.com then the mail is forwarding to multiple users like: user1@mydomain.com user2@mydomain.com user3@mydomain.com user4@mydomain.com user5@mydomain.com What we want: user1@mydomain.com, user2@mydomain.com and user3@mydomain.com can be able to send email to all@mydomain.com rest of others users user4@mydomain.com, user5@mydomain.com cannot be able to send mail to all@mydomain.com Any information about how to get this done would be greatly appreciated. If possible kindly let me know with sample example. Our dedicated cPanel server version: [v74.0.11 Regards, Tarak Nath

    Hello, As per your screenshot its work for instead of a forwarder when we created mailbox for all@mydomain.com without mailbox is not working. Basically we want to apply a filter that only allowed users can be able to send email to all@mydomain.com and the rest of all users [internal users or external users] can not be send mail to all@mydomain.com but they should be able to receive all mails from all@mydomain.com Please help, thanks in advance.

    Hello @Tarak Nath,
    As per your screenshot its work for instead of a forwarder when we created mailbox for all@mydomain.com without mailbox is not working.

    You could leave the email account created for the all@ address and add an additional action to the filter to discard the message after redirecting it. Is that a suitable solution? Thank you.

    Hello, We have created a rules called "allowed_users" under the global mail filter to allow the users1-user8@ to send mail to all@ and everyone else sending to all@ will be rejected with fail message. Please see the attachment. After that we have set a forwarder, now our requirement is fulfilled. But we just need to confirm what is the best option for "equals","contains","or" & "and" that we tried to explain in the attached screenshot. Thank you :) Regards, Tarak Nath

    Hello @Tarak Nath, The the rules are working as intended using "AND" and "contains", then I see no problem leaving them enabled. The screenshot suggests the setup is suitable for what you are attempting to do. Thank you.

    Hello, To update, the "CC" entry in the email header must be filtered independently from the "header_to" entry. There's currently no option for "header_cc" in the Email Filters interface within the cPanel UI. I recommend voting for and adding feedback to the following feature request if you'd like to see it included:
