SpamAssasin - how to block spamhaus listed IPs as cpanel user?
In some article i read that SpamAssasin can block mail based on source IP being in DNSBLs like spamhaus.org
As cPanel (v. 100.0.4) user (not admin) i do not see how to do this. I am bothered by SPAM from one company subnets currently and i see these listed also on stopforumspam.com
Can you please post instructions on how to block/delete only based on sender being on such a blocklist? Post even if only server admin can do such steps. Thank you

I have no root access and wondering how to do it so the RBL-only mail is deleted and NOT also mail that just fits some spam score. 0 -
Linked documentation apply on a WHM, not a cPanel i guess. In my case this is shared hosting server so i bet admin would not be willing to delete all RBL originated mail for everyone and cpanel has no option for user to enable such removal.. How to solve it? Ideas: - E-mail client has some addon for this task? (i was searching IPs got from RBL (seems too complicated) 0 -
Hello! It does sound like those would be potential solutions. Has your shared hosting provider given any input? 0 -
As I see it, you only have access as administrator of cPanel not WHM. - Have you already asked your hosting provider if you can add that RBL? currently I only configure (for me it is enough): bl.spamcop.net zen.spamhaus.org Totally apart: if you only want cPanel to filter emails with blacklisted ips and not those rated as spam, you just have to deactivate this option cPanel> home> Spam Filters> Automatically Delete New Spam (Auto-Delete) this setting will continue to mark emails as spam but will not delete them. At the server level, the RBLs have priority over any filter, so if a domain is whitelisted by the server but at the same time it is blacklisted by an RBL, the mail will be filtered without delivering it to the final cPanel user. I hope this can help you 0
