    How do I block all incoming mails?

    I am sick and tired of getting a bunch of junk emails coming into my account. I am getting so much of it that after a week, my inbox contains hundreds of junk emails....and in a few weeks, this can takes up hundreds of space (hundreds of MB of space).

    Therefore, I just want to prevent any emails from coming into my inbox. I don't want any emails, period. I use my yahoo.com email rather than my email address from my domain.

    So how can I stop emails from coming into my inbox of my domain?

    Thanks in advance.

    You can send them all to ":blackhole:" or ":fail:no such user here" if you want to bounce them (some people think they will get the names purged from the spam lists that way; I'm not sure there's any proof that works.)

    First, make sure you have only the default account enabled. In Cpanel, click on the Mail icon, then select "Add/Remove Accounts". Delete all but the "Main Account" (which you cannot delete).

    Click the link to "Go Back" and click on "Default Address". You'll see that you can specify where all "unrouted mail" goes ... put either ":blackhole:" to just delete them, or ":fail: no such user here" to delete them and send a bounce message back (you enter those options without the quote marks, of course.)
