anicko Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 Hi! I was wondering if anyone knows how to turn off email that should be coming through... I have 4 email accounts for my domain. Yet when you send an email to bob@anickocomputers.com or john@anickocomputers.com i still get these emails even though they are not real email accounts. Can i block emails that come through with an address i haven't set up? or am i stuck with this? thanks for any help Thumbs Up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leezard Posted June 23, 2003 Share Posted June 23, 2003 (edited) go into your cpanel and click on default mail, then click set default mail, select your domain in the first drop down box, in the second box type in :blackhole: or :fail: No such address here. blackhole will make the messages just vanish, fail will make them bounce back to the sender saying no such address.

KevinW Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 The same information (and answer) was a click away at the TCH Help Web site! -kw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Rick Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 And let me encourage you to use :blackhole: over :fail:. It is much cleaner and less prone to bouncing emails laying around in the mail queue. Many spammers use nonexistent email addresses so it's best just to delete the message and be done with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinW Posted June 24, 2003 Share Posted June 24, 2003 Rick, yes, the info on the TCH Help web site does indicate that we recommend using the 'blackhole' option over 'fail' - I took it right from one of your earlier message threads on the subject! -kw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
