Find Email Filter

[nixuser]

Is there a way to find which email filter (general or account) rule caused an email to get deleted from the server.

I used the filter test option in cPanel and was not able to find any clue.

There's nothing built into cPanel that would do this but you could potentially do this on the command line.

Something like the following migh work:

exim -bF /system/filter -bf /user/filter </test/message

There's also a lot of information in the exim documentation here: 5. The Exim command line

Something like the following migh work:

This is similar to the Test Filter option in cpanel, right?

Sort of, it's more manual than that and because of that would allow a bit more manipulation. You can pass the email through the specific filter file you want to test, you could potentially run it with the debug flag to view the specific match as well.
