Table of Contents • Backscatter • Backup • Bandwidth • Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) • Bayes Testing (Bayesian Spam Filtering) • Blackhole (Black Hole) • Blacklist • Blocker • Bounce Message • BoxTrapper • BoxTrapper Blacklist • BoxTrapper Ignore List • BoxTrapper Whitelist • Branding • Brute Force Attack • Build

  3. Backscatter • It is the term that is used for bounced email messages (or failed Delivery Status Notifications) that have been sent erroneously by the system to a domain. This happens when an attacker forges the domain’s name as the sender of spam. SPF should be used on the user’s mail server, so that backscatter can be reduced. Other terms that are used for it are outscatter, collateral spam and misdirected bounces.

  4. Backup • It refers to a copy of the files, databases, directories and email configurations related to a user’s website or server. It is recommended that the users of cPanel keep a backup of their website and the system administrators create account and server backups frequently.

  5. Bandwidth • It is the total size of all of the files that a system transfers to the computer of the visitors. Whenever a website visitor views a file (image, audio and video file) it is transferred by the server to the visitor’s computer. The bandwidth of a site owner is often limited by web hosting providers. This is done to prevent it from affecting the server’s performance. Bandwidth’s usage can be checked by cPanel users in the “Bandwidth” interface in cpanel by clicking on cPanel >> Home >> Metrics >> Bandwidth.

  9. Blackhole (Black Hole) • It is one of the options related to the handling of mail, which is received by the default or catch-all email addresses of cPanel users.
