I wanted to track some outgoing mails in my servers. Initially I was using IMAP to solve this issue. Then It was becoming slow everyday. They started complaining that the mail was really slow. I was forced to move to POP3 which is much faster compared to IMAP. Once I activated POP3 tracking was out of my hands. I search a lot on how to play with filters in exim mail.
It is quite powerful and give total control on incoming and outgoing mails. To solve my problem I need to play only with outgoing mails. There is a file named /etc/antivirus.exim is the file we need to play with. I edited the file and added the below lines to make it work for me.
if first_delivery
and ( ("$h_from:" contains "test1@imthi.com")
or ("$h_from:" contains "test2@imthi.com")
or ("$h_from:" contains "test3@imthi.com")
)
then
unseen deliver "tracker@imthi.com"
endif
The above block checks if the outgoing mail is on first delivery and who is the sender. Based on the sender I am sending a bcc copy to another mailbox. You can play more by studying the exim filter commands more 😉
where we hav to put
if first_delivery
and ( (“$h_from:” contains “test1@imthi.com”)
or (“$h_from:” contains “test2@imthi.com”)
or (“$h_from:” contains “test3@imthi.com”)
)
then
unseen deliver “tracker@imthi.com”
endif

For cpanel 11 you need to edit the file
/etc/cpanel_exim_system_filter
not
/etc/antivirus.exim
um, for outgoing (outbound) email, i think it shout be “$h_to:” instead of ”$h_from:”, at least that’s how it worked for me.
it worked for me. Thank you dude
Where can we access this file in Cpanel 11
etc/cpanel_exim_system_filter
Is it in file manager?
Pls help
anyone?? I want to track my outgoing mails..pls help . I have a shared hosting account .
If you have root access in your cpanel then you can edit that file.
If not then try editing the user filter instead the system filter.
It is also easy to backup and transfer all your websites from one server to another server if you have cPanel installed,”,
