Add RBL list to cPanel server

This tutorial we show how you can use the RBLs interface to configure your mail server to check incoming mail against the available RBLs. Your server will block the incoming messages if the IP address or hostname matches an cPanel RBL entry.

RBL is short for “Real-time Blackhole List.” RBL servers keep lists of spam-heavy IP addresses and hostnames so that you can easily block them. The WHM interface accesses two RBLs: bl.spamcop.net and zen.spamhaus.org by default.
