As a root admin of a corporate dedicated server, it would be nice to have a feature in WHM whereby I could create a global email filter with a GUI.
We quite often see spam emails which eventually make thier way around all the domains on the server.
It would be nice to blacklist the sender address at WHM level rather than having to rely on modifying exim to point to a manual txt file (exim blacklist) or rely on 3rd party apps.
Something similar to 'Global Email Filters' but at server level rather than user level.
I like this idea 
I agree something similar to this attached is much easier than doing from command line. Also, on my server, even after cpanel looked at the issue, the cpanel_exim_system_filter does not read regular expression properly, so I have to go into each account every time I have to make a rule change. 300+ accounts means that it does not get updated often.

I what to protect the whole server (accounts and domains) from SPAM in WHM with a global filter, as cpanel icon Account-Level Filtering
Global Account-Level Filtering
Example Filter:
Rules
If Any Header contains spam-domain or
Any Header contains spam-IP or
Any Header contains spam-word or
...
Actions
Discard Message

You can already configure the system filter in WHM. Is this sufficient, or are you looking for something similar to the interface provided in cPanel?

I look for the same function!!!!
Now, I build the filter in an account and copy the files in other domains to /home/domain/.cpanel
The files are filter.cache and filter.yaml
But is very tedious.
If we can create one file to whole server that be great!
Thanks.

This feature isn't on our roadmap, but it does look interesting. With only 3 votes currently, there doesn't seem to be much community interest in this feature, though.

easily being able to auto discard any emails marked as Spam and from domain extensions such as .download .pro .click would be really nice, this accounts for 80% of the spam emails that need manually deleting each day.

being able to easily setup global rules to delete spam would be a great feature to have.
My first rule would be:- delete where the subject: contains the word "spam" and the from: ends in ".download"
That would get rid of 60% of the spam making it in to clients mail boxes and would create almost 0% false positives.

If everyone on your server is getting the same spam email several times a day you hear about it and it becomes a pain in the neck, rather ran editing 50 Cpanel accounts individually this can save so much time

The interface is already there in cPanel > Global Filters so I guess R&D will be a little easier, I guess some people would want the cPanel to override the WHM filter though, I have no opinion on that.

That's definitely a good question for us to consider when we go about implementing this. I can see logic for both cPanel overriding WHM, and WHM overriding cPanel, but the latter seems more likely. From a processing standpoint, it makes more sense for root-level filters to be applied before a user's filters.

I definitely would have to agree that this is a much needed feature. Editing filters for 70+ accounts is very time consuming especially when the bulk of the Spam is coming from a handful of IP's and /or Domain suffixes...

I totally agree. Updating filters for 150+ accounts is excessively time consuming. Copying files to each account (filter.yaml and filter.cache) is risky too. We do had issues around a year ago.
This functionality should be essential, considering spam situation nowadays: too much phishing and hacking.

I just raised a request for the same.
As a root admin of a corporate server, it's time consuming having to create the same global filters for just 10 or more domains.
CSF Mailscanner can do this, so why can't WHM ?

Yes, I also want to be able to add an email to a server block / blacklist - if they are spamming the server accounts. e.g. aspammyemailsender123@gmail.com - we need a way to block it from the entire server
