    Hello,

    Try editing the filter to look like this and let us know if it helps:

    Code:
    #FilterRule
if
 $header_to: contains "everyone@domain.com"
 and $header_from: does not match "^(abc|alerts)@domain.com"
then
 save "/dev/null" 660
endif
    Thank you.

    Hi,

    Here's what the filter looks like in the cPanel UI:

    Thanks for your reply,

    It's getting filtered as below if I give From in this fashion ^(alerts|abc)@domain.com but it works well with single ID i.e. alerts@domain.com.

    My requirement is to authorize more than 2 IDs to be able to send to everyone@domain.com

    Code:
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
69-b255-3a88-d56bfdde68a5@msourceone.com T="test" for everyone@domain.com
2017-07-17 09:58:15 cwd=/var/spool/exim 3 args: /usr/sbin/exim -Mc 1dWxdn-0007Sg-JL
2017-07-17 09:58:15 1dWxdn-0007Sg-JL => /dev/null <everyone@domain.com> R=central_filter T=**bypassed**
2017-07-17 09:58:15 1dWxdn-0007Sg-JL Completed
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Regards,

    Could you provide more details about this? It seems like you may need to develop a custom regular expression for use in your rule.

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    For instance, what's a specific example that's not covered by the filter rule mentioned in my earlier post?

    Thank you.

    Hi,

    I have clearly mentioned what is happening if I create filter using ^(alerts|abc)@domain.com.

    Please check my reply sent on "Source1, Tuesday at 11:32 AM Last edited by a moderator: Tuesday at 2:46 PM".

    Hello,

    The log output in that post suggests the actual email address in your filter includes hyphens (- symbol). This is going to require a custom filter rule using regular expressions. Here are a couple of documents you can reference if you'd like to try writing a custom rule on your own:

    Exim Filter Specification - String testing conditions
    8. Regular expressions

    You may also want to post to the Exim users mailing list for additional assistance developing the custom rule.

    Thank you.
