What is a filter?

A filter is a tool that processes mail according to your preferences. For example, a filter can automatically discard spam or save mail from a specified sender to its own folder.

In cPanel, filters can be applied to all email for the domain (Account Level Filters), or to each individual account (User Level Filters).
