Click the Save button when you are done. You have the option to configure how many times an auto-response message will be returned to a sender within a given period of time. The default setting is 5 responses per 3 hours.

The Header filters section allows you to filter incoming email messages based on the content of their email headers. Description of the different email headers and filtering options can be found in the Header filters article from our online documentation. To add a header filter, follow the steps below: Enter your Control Panel's Mail Manager section. Click on the Filters button next to the mailbox you wish to modify. If you want to add a global filter (that will work for all of your mailboxes), use the Global mail settings tab. Navigate to the Header filters subsection. Choose the type of action that you would like to be taken if the filter condition is met. For example, select Move mail to Trash if you wish to move the filtered messages to the Trash folder of your mailbox. Specify the matching criteria for the filter by selecting the header, comparison, and string. You can enter multiple conditions for the filter for optimized message filtering by using the +Add button. A total of five conditions can be used for a single filter, which allows for very complex email filtering. Important: The condition string of the filter does not require an exact word match and is case-insensitive. If you have a filter for incoming messages with header Subject that contains the word hi, any incoming messages that contain the word high in the subject line will also be filtered. If you have a similar filter for the string PIC, any incoming messages with subject topic will also be filtered. Additionally, the asterisk symbol (*) is not a considered a wildcard character, so a filter that checks for the string *PIC in incoming messages will filter messages that contain the string *pic in their subject line, and messages that contain the string topic will not be filtered. For example, you can select the Subject header, choose the contains option, and enter viagra in the matching string field to filter all messages which contain the word viagra in the subject line.If you wish to filter out all messages which contain the word viagra in the subject line except for the messages sent from anothermailbox@example.com to your mailbox, you will need to enter the condition listed above, press the +Add button to add another condition, select the From header, choose the isn't option, and enter anothermailbox@example.com in the matching string field.   Once you have entered all desired filter settings, press the Add button, and the header filter will be listed in the Active filters subsection. You can use the Additional filtering options subsection located below the Active filters subsection if you wish to perform another action for all messages that do not match any of the active filters. This feature should be used with caution if you are not experienced with header filters as it may lead to unexpected message filtering if your active filters are not configured correctly. If the additional filtering option is enabled for a mailbox, the global header filters (for all mailboxes in your account) will not work for that mailbox.

All mailboxes are created with a predefined quota, depending on the hosting plan of the account. You can modify the disk space quota and the maximum allowed messages (inode quota) for each mailbox as needed.To adjust the disk quota for a given mailbox, please follow these steps: Open your web hosting Control Panel's "Mail Manager" section. Follow the link under the "Quota usage" column next to the mailbox in question. Specify the maximum allowed space in the "Quota:" field for the mailbox and click on the "Save" button. To adjust the maximum allowed messages (inode quota) for the mailbox, just specify the new value in the "Max messages:" field and click on the "Save" button. The interface also allows you to set an e-mail notification if any of the resources (disk quota or inode quota) reach a certain level. Just set the desired level/percentace usage reached, and click on the "Save" button. Note that besides this custom notification, our system will always send a notification at 99% usage reached - this "99% usage" notification cannot be stopped/adjusted.

To enable SpamAssassin for a given mailbox, please follow these steps: Enter your Control Panel's Mail Manager section. Follow the Filters link next to the mailbox you wish to modify. Click on the Enable for this mailbox button to enable SpamAssassin for your mailbox. If the SpamAssassin filter is enabled globally for your hosting account, you will see an additional button labeled Use global that you can use. This will set the default spam level (5/10) or the global level for your account depending on the selected button. Incoming messages with а spam score higher than the spam level for the mailbox will be classified as spam. Setting the spam level to a low value (1/10) will probably cause legitimate mail to be incorrectly filtered as spam, and setting it to a high value (10/10) may lead to more spam messages reaching your mailbox. If the SpamAssassin filter is enabled for a mailbox, it will not change the way messages from white- or blacklisted email addresses are handled. Messages from whitelisted email addresses will be delivered directly to your mailbox, and messages from blacklisted email addresses will be automatically classified as spam by the SpamAssassin filter. More details about the white and black lists are available in our White and Black listing section article. To change the spam level for a mailbox where SpamAssassin is enabled, you need to: Enter your Control Panel's Mail Manager section. Follow the Filters link next to the mailbox you wish to modify. Specify a new spam level value, and click on the Set button, or click on the Use global button to use the global spam level value for your hosting account.

By default, when an email message gets filtered as spam, or when it matches some mail filter, it will be delivered to the Junk folder for the account. All filtered messages will be stored there. Messages in the Junk folder will be deleted after 3, 7, 14, or 30 days, depending on the settings in the Mail Manager under the Filters button for each mailbox. You can access the Junk Folder with the Webmail program on the server or with an IMAP mail program. You can disable the Junk Folder for a mailbox using the Mail Manager section > Filters button in the hosting Control Panel. IMPORTANT: If you disable the Junk Folder, filtered messages will be silently deleted, and the sender will not receive any notification about the failed delivery. We advise that you use this option with care. To be sure that you will not miss important messages, we advise that you have the Junk Folder enabled.
