    Log in to your cPanel account.

    • Enter a Filter Name. Note: If you use a filter name similar to an existing one, it will overwrite the previous filter.
    • Set Rules to define which emails should be filtered.
    • Choose the Action for filtered emails (e.g., delete, redirect, deliver to folder).
    • You can add or remove Actions or Rules by clicking the + or - button beside them.
    • Apply conditions (and/or) to trigger multiple Actions or Rules.

  5. Step 5: Save the Filter

    Click Create when you have configured the desired settings.
