Receiving spam emails is a common issue for many email users. In most cases, this happens when an email address becomes publicly exposed on websites, social media, contact forms, data leaks, or is collected by automated bots that scan the internet for email addresses.

At TetraHost, we have already applied server-side spam protection settings to help reduce unwanted emails reaching user inboxes. However, no spam filtering system can block 100% of spam, so some unwanted emails may still arrive.

How Users Can Further Reduce Spam from cPanel

You can improve spam protection easily from your cPanel account:

1. Enable and Adjust Spam Filters

Go to cPanel > Spam Filters

From there you can:

• Lower the spam score sensitivity to catch more spam emails
• Automatically move detected spam to the Spam folder
• Automatically delete high-score spam emails

2. Block Specific Email Addresses or Domains

If you keep receiving spam from the same sender:

• Create email filters in cPanel > Email Filters
• Block specific email addresses
• Block entire domains

3. Use Strong Privacy Practices

To reduce future spam:

• Avoid posting email addresses publicly online
• Use contact forms instead of writing email addresses on websites
• Do not reply to suspicious emails
• Avoid subscribing your main email to unknown websites

4. Mark Spam in Webmail

If using webmail, mark unwanted emails as spam. This helps train filters over time.

By combining our server-level protections with these manual tweaks, you can significantly reduce the noise in your inbox.
