Block Receiving E-Mail Address

Hello All, I want to block incoming mail to one address only. This address does not have an e-mail account, e-mail sent to it is received by the default account. I do not want to block the default account entirely. I do not have root access. cPanel Version 60.0 (build 35) Theme x3 Apache Version 2.4.18 PHP Version 5.5.36 MySQL Version 5.6.34 Architecture x86_64 Operating System linux Path to sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail Path to Perl /usr/bin/perl Perl Version 5.10.1 Kernel Version 2.6.32-673.8.1.lve1.4.3.1.el6.x86_64 cPanel Pro 1.0 (RC1) (I have replaced the name of my domain with domain.com). The Set Default Address is set to forward to a real e-mail account on the same domain, unrouted@domain.com. My e-mail client then downloads from unrouted@domain.com. I then, when registering for websites etc., register with adresses such as amazon.com@domain.com. This stops my personal account being flooded by adverts etc. One of those adresses is now receiving masses of spam and I want to block it, imcoming messages to be auto-deleted. I have set up the same rule in Account Level Filtering and also in User Level Filtering (in the unrouted@domain.com account). To = spam.com@domain.com; Action = Discard A test : ---> To: spam.com@domain.com ---> From: test@localhost ---> Subject: test ---> ---> This is a test message. Gives this result :


    ---> The Filter has matched the following condition(s):
    ---> $header_to: is spam.com@domain.com
    ---> Return-path copied from sender
    ---> Sender = default@ukdc1-www41.example.co.uk
    ---> Recipient = default@ukdc1-www41.example.co.uk
    ---> Testing Exim filter file "/home/default/etc/domain.com/unrouted/filter"
    --->
    ---> Save message to: /dev/null 0660
    ---> Filtering set up at least one significant delivery or other action.
    ---> No other deliveries will occur.

However I am still receiving e-mail to spam.com@domain.com in my e-mail client. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks, Mike

You should. example.com@domain.com is received by the default account, sure. But joe@, sue@, youtube@ and any other word you can think of can be as well.

I then, when registering for websites etc., register with adresses such as amazon.com@domain.com[/EMAIL]. This stops my personal account being flooded by adverts etc.

You should create a forwarder for that instead of using the default account this way. If that forward (amazon.com@) is found out by a spammer and you're getting pounded with spam, change the forwarder to a new one and kill the old one getting spammed. After all, its not a valid email anyone uses.

That worked, thanks.
