Global Email Filter not working
Hello,
Our VPS server is regularly hit with SPAM broadcasts from domains .top, .pro, .click, .xyz, .download, .review, .date, .win, .racing, .party, .work, .tokyo, .science, and .link. I was told by our hosting company that there is no way at a VPS level to block all mail from such domains. The only way I could do so is via individual Global Email filter within each cPanel account.
Because of the high volume of email sent to all our accounts on a regular bases, I have set a Global Email Filter for every cPanel account. This filter is first in the list and I have uploaded an image of the filter. Second in the list is the filter created by spam assassin. Nearly all accounts have SpamAssassin with auto-delete enabled on a setting of 5 or 4.
When I use the built in test for the first filter, it finds the criteria and notes that no delivery will be made. (Save message to: /dev/null 0660 Filtering set up at least one significant delivery or other action. No other deliveries will occur.) I ran the test using an email address from SPAM - frank+infiltration@domain
However, the SPAM still continues to appear in the inboxes of clients. At times it seems to work and other times it seems that the filters are totally bypassed.
Can someone look a my filter and provide me with some help. I am a cPanel beginner and really struggling with this. I have read other forum entries related to this topic and lots of "hints" but has seen no clear directions on dealing with this. I truly appreciate your help.

Hello :) You can actually block specific TLDs globally with an Exim system filter. There's a thread on this at: Need to filter ALL email Ensure you read the recent posts to this thread for updated rules that users have submitted. Thank you. 0 -
Thank you Michael, Would you know why the current implementation of the global Email filters is not working? Have I configured something within the filter wrong? 0 -

The image you attached is not visible. Would you mind attaching it again, or posting your filter rule in CODE tags? Thank you.0 -

You may want to try adjusting your custom regular expressions to the ones suggested on this thread: Need to filter ALL email In particular, it looks like you are using more backslashes than the one in the example. Thank you. 0
