no spam! (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

We can discard spam emails from and to our server(Both incoming and outgoing emails). Using this we can stop spam emails like citibank, paypal, hsbc any spamming activities.

Login to your cpanel server.

Main >> Service Configuration >> Exim Configuration Manager

Under Filter Section

/etc/cpanel_exim_system_filter_ajeesh by default this will be /etc/cpanel_exim_system_filter but this filter will be gone once you do a exim upgrade. So that I have used a custom name.
