Email Filtering
How to block certain emails from arriving in your inbox.
Technical Support Homepage

Step 1: Go to https://webmail.freedom2surf.net/websieve/websieve.pl and log in with your email address and password.

Step 2: Once you are logged in, click on the Add Rule option.

Step 3: You set up a rule here which will filter emails based on words that you specify.
You can filter on the Subject, From and To fields of an email.
You then have a choice of what to do with the email. You can file it to another folder in your mailbox, forward it to another email address, reject the email or discard it.
In the following example, a rule has been created to check the subject field of an incoming email and then discard the email based on the contents of the subject field.


Once you have finished entering your filtering settings, click Save Rule.

Note: In the example above the email will only be blocked if the subject field contained an exact match for what you have typed in. If you wanted to filter for individual words you need to do the following:

Tick the Use regular expressions option.

Each word you would like to block must be entered in the subject box in this format: (word1|word2). See the example below:


This rule would block any email that had either of those words contained in the subject field. Click on save rule once you are finished.
In the example above, we have chosen to discard emails that match our rule. Mails that are discarded are not recoverable, therefore you may like to forward blocked emails to a SPAM folder instead incase your rule blocks legitimate email. You can do this by choosing the file into option (then choose the folder you want the mail to go to) instead.
