You can easily filter out the majority of the spam you receive by adjusting the configuration of MailScanner, our email spam and virus scanning solution found in your cPanel.
How MailScanner works is that all incoming email is scanned and assigned a spam score based on a number of attributes and triggers that are regularly updated to ensure the latest spam detection technology. The higher the spam score, the more likely the email is to be spam.
When you first access MailScanner you will notice that spam and virus scanning is enabled by default with low scoring spam set to be moved to a Spam folder within each email account and high scoring spam set to be deleted. By default MailScanner also defines emails with a spam score between 0-5 to be legitimate email, 5-20 to be low scoring or potential spam, and 20+ to be high scoring or definite spam.
With MailScanner you can also whitelist and blacklist email addresses and domains to ensure that you get all of your important emails and to block mail from people you do not wish to communicate with.
For further customization, you can click on the Other Settings link and adjust the values that define low and high scoring spam to make MailScanner more act strict or lenient depending upon your preferences.
