Title: blacklist question
Post by: Agent86 on June 22, 2008, 03:03:32 PM
Hi all,

I was wondering about the format of the blacklist.

Can I add a wildcard to block mail from a @???.com or *.@something.fr.org or something like this.

I get some mail from certain domains and not that much, but they are always spam.

How can I block these domains? or what is the format for blocking them in the blacklist ?

Please advise
Thanks

There is a contrib that gives a server-manager panel to add and remove white and blacklist entries:

or you can do it with the DB commands.

Hi all.

Thanks for the replies.

I was talking about the individual email accounts where people can select an email to be either white list, or black list.

And in the options section of the horde email account, there is a section for managing blacklist. I see in the links provided in the wiki some instructions to add the *@xxx.com in front of the domain and this should blacklist any emails from xxx.com from what the wiki says, however I'm not sure this only applies to the server complete database blacklist as described in the wiki or can the format of *@.xxx.com  also work in the blacklist of the user accounts in the manage blacklist section in horde ?



I've put the * infront of those that i want black listed, however this may not be the way to go
