How to configure a spam filter in Webmail

Porkbun's email hosting service already comes equipped with a comprehensive spam filter that mitigates the majority of spam emails. However, if you want to add your own rules to Webmail to fine-tune the spam filtering even further, you can do that! We'll show you how.

Log in to the hosted email address that you're configuring a filter for. If you need some guidance on how to access your hosted email address, check out our guide on How to Log in to Webmail.

Once you've accessed Webmail, look for the "Settings" option in the left-hand menu and click it.

In the Settings menu, click on "Filters" and then click on "Create" in the top-right corner.

You can now configure your spam filter. In the "Filter name" field, type whatever name you want to give to your filter.

You can configure your spam filter however you'd like, but we'll show you an example. Set the following options:

Scope: Matching all of the following rules
Rules: Click on "Subject" then choose "..." from the dropdown menu. In the "Header name" field, type "X-Spam-Status". Click on "contains" and change it to "count is greater than or equal to". In the next field, enter "15".
Actions: Leave "Move message to" selected, and in the next field choose the Junk folder from the dropdown menu.

Once you have the filter set up, click on the "Save" button to save it to Webmail.

That's it! The filter will be saved and immediately applied to your email address. You can always return to the same menu to adjust the filter or add new ones.
