BashEmailFOR CPANEL & WHM
A cPanel spam filter that protects inboxes and sending reputation.
Filter incoming spam and infected attachments, then contain outgoing abuse before a compromised account harms the whole server. BashEmail works on your existing cPanel server, with administration in WHM and private quarantine access for each customer.
No MX or DNS change
Native WHM administration
CloudLinux compatible
Email protection for shared hosting
Spam creates two different problems on a cPanel server.
Customers notice unwanted mail in their inboxes first. The more expensive problem often starts in the other direction, when a stolen mailbox password or compromised website begins sending abuse from an address associated with your server.
A useful cPanel spam filter has to handle both without turning every unusual message into a support ticket. BashEmail keeps incoming decisions visible, gives each customer access to their own quarantine and lets the hosting team contain a risky sender without disabling the rest of the account.
Incoming cPanel spam filtering
Give wanted mail a clear route to the inbox.
BashEmail applies the policy chosen for each domain or mailbox. Clean messages continue to delivery, while suspicious or infected mail follows the review path selected by the administrator.

One customer can choose stronger filtering without forcing the same cPanel spam filter settings on every account.
Hold infected messages safely
Malware and virus detections are kept for review instead of disappearing without an explanation.
Keep exceptions deliberate
Allow and deny lists handle trusted senders, known unwanted sources and requirements that apply to a particular customer.
Private cPanel quarantine
Release what should have arrived.Deliver an individual message, remove unwanted items or clear the quarantine when it is no longer needed.
Keep account boundaries intact.No customer can search, preview or manage mail belonging to another cPanel account.
Make retention understandable.A concise summary shows how much mail is held, how recent it is and when automatic deletion will occur.
Let customers recover wanted mail without opening a ticket.
Each customer reaches their quarantine from the Email section of cPanel. They can only see messages for domains that belong to their own account, including addon domains and subdomains.

Outgoing spam protection for cPanel
Respond without punishing the victim.The customer can still sign in, receive mail and use the rest of the hosting account while outgoing delivery is contained.
Avoid forgotten restrictions.Automatic watch, hold and suspension actions expire on their own instead of remaining applied indefinitely.
Protect the addresses that send mail.Reputation monitoring follows the server addresses used for outgoing delivery and provides a direct route to request removal when action is required.
Stop one compromised sender from becoming a server-wide reputation problem.
BashEmail watches outgoing activity and applies sending limits with exceptions for legitimate higher-volume customers. When behaviour becomes risky, the response can move from watch to hold and then to a sending-only suspension.
Native cPanel and WHM workflow
Put each decision where the right person already works.
The hosting team manages server-wide protection in WHM. Customers handle their own held mail in cPanel, without another account, another portal or access to anyone else's messages.

- Private quarantine access inside cPanel

On-server email security
Keep the mail route and customer relationship under your control.
Cloud filtering gateways require domains to route mail through another provider. BashEmail installs on the cPanel server instead, so existing MX records, DNS settings, mailboxes and delivery workflows stay in place.
No third party becomes the temporary custodian of customer messages. Filtering decisions and quarantine remain on infrastructure operated by the hosting company.

Operational safety
Review real mail behaviour before changing delivery.
BashEmail starts by observing. Your team sees the outcomes it would choose on your own server before incoming filtering or outgoing enforcement is enabled.
Mail keeps flowing
If filtering becomes unavailable, BashEmail fails open instead of deferring or bouncing customer mail.
Start with observation
Nothing is held until an administrator reviews the server's traffic and deliberately enables protection.
Respect the panel
Supported cPanel extension points avoid interfering with files and settings managed by the control panel.
Leave the server clean
Uninstall restores the panel's own filtering, releases held mail and preserves what BashEmail learned for a future reinstall.

cPanel spam filter questions
What hosting teams ask before enabling BashEmail.
What is BashEmail for cPanel?
BashEmail is an on-server cPanel spam filter for hosting companies. It filters incoming spam and malware, contains outgoing abuse, provides an administrator dashboard in WHM and gives customers private access to their own quarantine inside cPanel.
Does BashEmail require an MX or DNS change?
No. BashEmail installs on the existing cPanel server and works with the mail route already used by hosted domains. Customer mail does not need to pass through an external filtering gateway.
Can cPanel users manage their own quarantine?
Yes. Customers open BashEmail Quarantine from the Email section of cPanel. Access is restricted to domains belonging to their account, including addon domains and subdomains.
Can an administrator choose between quarantine and Junk delivery?
Yes. The administrator can hold caught mail in quarantine or deliver it to the recipient's Junk folder. Strictness can also be adjusted for an individual domain or mailbox.
What happens when a cPanel account starts sending spam?
BashEmail can move the sender through watch, hold and sending-only suspension. Incoming mail, mailbox access, websites, FTP and other account services remain available while outgoing delivery is contained.
Does an automatic sending restriction expire?
Yes. Automatic watch, hold and suspension actions expire on their own, so a temporary response is not left applied and forgotten.
Is BashEmail compatible with CloudLinux?
Yes. BashEmail for cPanel is compatible with CloudLinux and uses cPanel's supported plugin system for its WHM and customer interfaces.
Will a filtering problem stop customer mail?
No. BashEmail is designed to fail open. If filtering is unavailable, mail continues through the server rather than being deferred or bounced by BashEmail.
