Hi Folks, We've got a contact us on our webpage thats managed by a thurd party, they want to charge us a silly sum to intergrate RE-CAPTCHA and here's out predicament. On the contact us page it has the option to email us and these emails from from "hello@mydomain.com" is there a way in whm/cpanel to filter emails sent from this address through some kind of spam filter? we currently get 50+ spam emails a day from this address. Thanks in advance. Lee

  My contact page has an email address ascociated with our web site. contactus@mydomain.com Does yours. ? The 50+ spam messages, are they coming from your contactus@yourdomain.com, or are these general spam coming from everwhere but. ? If the spam is coing from contactus@yourdomain.com, then these will be bots using your contact page to spam you. The only option would be some form of re-capture. If they are coming from everywhere else, then you could potentially use a filter in cpanel to block them.

  If you have access to the coding of your contact page, you could try implimenting Recapture yourself. You'll need to sign up to Google for a free API key, and then add some code you your contact page. reCAPTCHA v2 "|" reCAPTCHA "|" Google Developers

  If you can determine any form of pattern with the spam, then you could create a filter in cpanel. But if they are all random, filtering them could be difficult. Not the best fix, but renaming your url might make them go away for a short while.

  Hello @LeeL, You could access cPanel and setup a Global Email Filter with a pattern or rules specific to these emails. The links below will help you get started: Global Email Filters - Version 80 Documentation - cPanel Documentation How to Configure Mail Filters - cPanel Knowledge Base - cPanel Documentation Let us know if this helps. Thank you.
