    I'm attempting to find the filters.cache / filters.yaml file on my server (running cPanel 66.0.19). However, I'm not seeing the files or usual path. I'm looking under the home/<user>/etc/<domain> folders, but don't see it anywhere. Were these files moved elsewhere or are they hidden now by default?

    Hi,

    I think that will be created when you create any filtering via the cPanel of the particular account. Check if you have created any filtering from the user's cPanel..

    Yes - I have a fairly extensive global filter setup with 20+ filters.

    Under "/home/<user>/etc/<domain>", there should be additional folders for each email account username. The filters.cache filters.yaml files are located there.

    The folder is empty.

    I checked the directories on one of my domains (also using File Manager), and the files are listed, and not hidden. Perhaps yours are located under /home/username/mail/domain/account. I'm not sure where else they would be. You might need to check with your hosting provider, or cPanel support.

    Thank you! The File Manager had these folders/files hidden and I had to unhide them, but I did manage to find the necessary file and edit it successfully.

    Hello,

    Keep in mind that manually editing those files is unsupported. Instead, you should use the following cPanel UAPI functions if you want to modify filters through the command line:

    UAPI Functions - Email::enable_filter - Software Development Kit - cPanel Documentation
    UAPI Functions - Email::disable_filter - Software Development Kit - cPanel Documentation
    UAPI Functions - Email::reorder_filters - Software Development Kit - cPanel Documentation
    UAPI Functions - Email::store_filter - Software Development Kit - cPanel Documentation

    Thank you.
