Blocking unwanted senders in cPanel is an effective way to prevent unwanted e-mails from specific senders. You can easily block emails from certain senders via cPanel's email settings. Follow the steps below to block a sender:
Step 1: Log in to your cPanel
- Go to the login page of your cPanel (for example: yourwebsite.nl/cpanel).
- Enter your username and password and click Login.
Step 2: Go to the email section
- Scroll down to the area Email in your cPanel dashboard.
- Click Mail Filter or Global Email Filters (depending on your version of cPanel).
Step 3: Create a new filter
- Click Create a new filter to create a new line that blocks messages from a specific sender.
- Please give the filter a name, for example: "Block Unwanted Sender" .
Step 4: Set the filter criteria
- Choose on Filter lines the option From in the list of available criteria.

Step 5: Choose the filter action
- With Action choose Delete message or Move to Spam.
- If you choose to delete the message, the email will be completely ignored. If you choose "Move to Spam," the email will be placed in the junk folder so you can check it later.
Step 6: Save the filter
