Question Mail forwarding, block replies from some adresses

[kameleon1er]

Hi, I'm trying to find the way to prevent an email address from using a list I use for a group.

I have created a mailbox and entered a list of addresses to forward messages that arrive in this box.

One person on that list uses that address to forward unwanted messages to everyone else.

How do I block this address so that they can no longer send messages to this group?

You can block the address so that they can still receive messages destined for this group. Thank you for your help.

Best regards.

Have you seen the "blacklisting" option in the "Spam" tab of the mailbox?

Hi Peter, yes I tried that, but no success, blacklisted adress still can write to the mailbox and forwaders.

Thanks for your help.

Does the culprit have a login on the same host so that he/she can login to the mail server and send mails from there locally? In that case I am not sure whether blacklisting will work. It should, but I have never tested that one.

Another reason why blacklisting might not work is that you may have entered the address into the blacklist, but still the "Switch on spam filtering for this email address" might not have been checked.

Hi Peter ;

In fact, I created a mailbox named "group" to communicate to all members at once with the option "forward" to their personal email address (as a list). But by doing so, each recipient can send or reply to this box, and when they do so, all the other addresses in the "forward" list receive their message or reply.

What I would like is to block one e-mail address as a sender but not as a receiver.
I hope my explanation is clearer
Thanks

Blacklisting is the way to go. I don't know why it does not work for you in this case.

Hi Peter, I try this ; Plesk Obsidian 18.0.28 is it there ?

It is probably better to adjust the blacklist of that one specific mailbox (address) you are using for mail distribution. Click on its name, then choose the "Spam" filter tab, scroll down and you'll see the black list box.

I Peter, you wright, this is the place, but it's not really intuitive ; we have to fill both of list settings "black' and "white" at the same time. Maybe it could be a good idea to enrich the knowledge base Block domains or IP, is not enough, too much people got @Gmail adress or Yahoo or MSN or what ever … so… I think the good way is :
