How do I prevent email spam and abuse from my account? Print

  • 0

Keeping your account from sending spam protects your deliverability and keeps it from being suspended. Key steps:

  • Use strong, unique passwords on every email account so attackers can't hijack them to send spam.
  • Keep your CMS and contact-form plugins updated and add CAPTCHA to forms to stop bots.
  • Set up SPF and DKIM records (cPanel's Email Deliverability tool can do this) so your mail is trusted.
  • Don't send unsolicited bulk email; stay within sending limits and use real opt-in lists.
  • Remove unused or compromised email accounts.

If you notice strange outgoing mail or a bounce flood, your account may be compromised — change passwords and scan with Imunify360 immediately. For help cleaning up or if sending is blocked, open a ticket.
