Block specific email address

Hi,

How do I go about blocking a specific email address with cfg/mailscanner? I noticed in MailWatch one specific address sending phising mail to all accounts ibx@fakebank.co.uk

Regards,

You might try: WHM > Plugins > ConfigServer MailScanner FE > ConfigServer MailScanner Front-End, scroll to bottom of the page and find the box titled:
Server Spam Blacklist:

Adding it there should prove helpful.

If you want to block the sender email address in exim so it doesn't even get to MailScanner, you can add the following lines to the exim configuration. Go into WHM > Exim Configuration Editor > Advanced Editor:

In the 2nd text box under "begin acl" look for the line that says:

Code: Select all

  accept  hosts = :

Below that line, add the following (replacing user@domain.com with the real email address, of course):

Code: Select all

  drop senders = user@domain.com
       message = (you can put a message here that will be included in the NDR)

Save the exim configuration and make sure there are no errors in the output.
