Let us take a closer on how to CPanel blacklist email addresses. At Bobcares with the assistance of the Cpanel/WHM support services, we can give you a complete guide on the entire process.

Blacklist email address

When we blacklist an email address, it prevents all emails sent from that address from reaching the inbox. If we receive undesirable emails from a specific address or site and they do not reply to unsubscribe requests, we can blacklist them to keep them out of our inbox.

How to Blacklist Email in cPanel

To add the emails to the blacklist firstly were have to Log in to cPanel. After that, Click the “Spam Filters” link or icon in the “Email” section as shown in the image given below.

After that, scroll down to the section titled “Additional Configurations (For Advanced Users).” Select “Show Additional Configurations.” Scroll down to the section titled “Blacklist (Emails Never Allowed).” Select “Edit Spam Blacklist Settings.” Select “Add a New ‘blacklist from’ Item.”

We can use the following options when entering addresses to blacklist or whitelist:

  1. user@abcd.com — To blacklist a single email address.
  2. *@abcd.com — To blacklist all of the addresses at ggexample.com.
  3. ?ser@abcd.com — To blacklist a single character in a ggexample.com address (for example, user@abcd.com but not theuser@abcd.com).

In the following step, we must input the email address that we want to block.

Select “Update Blacklist (blacklist from)”. Although there is a success message, the cPanel interface can make it appear as if nothing has happened. This will confuse us at first, but by adding more items, we can see how the list is shown. To remove a blacklist item, click the “X” icon next to the item to remove it.

  2. A pattern can also be used to prohibit all emails from a given domain name. This would ban all email addresses that end in @exampleB.com, including email@abcd.com and anotherEmail@abcd.com.
