While logged into cpanel as a user the default email account seems to catch all the unrouted email and saves it on the server, When i went to change the default address and delete all the email I read the part that says

Hint: You can enter :blackhole: to discard all incoming unrouted mail or :fail: no such address here to bounce it.

So here is my stupid question

In the box for the new default address how do I write it

:blackhole:

or

blackhole

or

blackhole@mydomain.com


Also when setting up new websites using whm, is their a way to have the default email address to automatically be a blackhole.

Thanks for any help

Otis

You would type it :blackhole:

Log into WHM and click on "Tweak Settings". Under the "mail" category, you can set it to fail, blackhole or localuser upon account setup.
