Thanks for the pointer. This has evolved in cPanel 11, to the extent that I can manage filters on a user level from the cPanel screen, and define which folder to move it to purely by name, e.g. ‘Receipts’.

Hello,

I want to disable perticular subject line for all the sites on my server not for perticular doamin so that no one can send an email with that header.
How can I do that.. please advise.

Does this still work? I used to do this when our cPanel server still used mbox mail storage format.
/home/[CPanel username]/mail/[domain.name]/[mail username]/[folder name]

However, now our cPanel server has converted to maildir mail storage format. Now within a mail account each folder name begins with a period, e.g. for mail username Bob containing a sub-folder Work, it looks like this:

home/[CPanel username]/mail/[domain.name]/Bob/.Work

But, I tried setting the new path in the cPanel filters, adding the new period in front of the folder name, but it isn’t working. The mail that matches the filter patter just disappears and does not go to that folder.

Something must be different with maildir for specifying pathnames.

I am trying to filter using cpanel in a more complex way than the usual simple example such as “If Header contains “foo” then forward to me {at} mydomain(.)net”

I would like to make a .filter file to do something like:

If $header_to contains “foo” AND $message_body contains “icecream” then forward to me {at} mydomain(.)net

Of course this synyax doesn’t work.
Exim seems to know about “and”, “or”, then” etc but I can’t get the syntax right

Please help somebody!
