block / deflect a specific incoming email address?

[spaceman]

One of our hosting clients is getting hammered by incoming email messages from one of this customers (external mail server). The customer has a problem at their end (almost certainly a virus), and our client has asked if there's anything he can do (via cPanel), or us on his behalf (via WHM or command line) to block / deflect / reject email messages from a specific email address to his pop account(s). Currently, each time my clients hits send/receive he's got 10s or 100s of incoming messages to download from this one email address.

Is there somrthing he/we can do? I've not been asked this before and can't see anything that allows me or him to do this.

Thanks.

Forward it with cPanel. Under mail > Forwarders

that@email.com >>> :fail:

Or

Under mail > Filters > add filter

$message_body contains "that@email.com" Discard

Or

block the host. Add the IP to;

/etc/apf/deny_hosts.rules

Certainly one of those should work for you.

Doh! Email filters - forgot about that one!

Thanks!
