Spamassassin Question

[TCH-Thomas]

In spamassassin I can blacklist a specific adress such as tompa@jikrantz.se.

Bbut am I supposed to be able to block a whole domain like like this *@jikrantz.se to have no one at jikrantz.se to email me?

[TCH-Rob]

Yep, I do it all the time.

[TCH-Thomas]

Then I do something wrong, cause spamassassin doesnt understand I dont want mail from flowgo.com

[TCH-Rob]

I have in the blacklist_from field *domain.com, you can try it like that and see if it works, it seems to work for me.

[TCH-Thomas]

Done. Thanks

 

Flowgo beware

[TCH-Thomas]

Nope. Doesnt work. Flogo people still sends me stuff.

I successfully do it as well with, for example, .*@hotmail.com

[TCH-Thomas]

Thanks Don

I skipped the dot when trying Robs suggestion.

The dot is important in this?

Does black listing by domain mean that domain's mail server is blocked? If I get spoofed email that shows hotmail.com in the address field but is really coming from spammeplease.com, will putting spammeplease.com in SA stop all mail originating from that domain?

 

I'm a little unclear on that feature.

 

Thanks!

If I'm not wrong, blacklisting an email address via spamassassin doesn't mean you automatically reject emails coming form flowgo but it just increases the spam rating of those emails. You would still receive them anyway.. but you can set it up such that they get redirected to the spam folder.

 

As for the second question, I'm not sure but I believe spamassassin works only on the from email address field. I could be wrong.

Hmmm, so I take it there is no way to block by IP so a particular mail server cannot deliver anything to me. I've got a blasted IP address that continuously is broadcasting virus-ladden emails to me and I'd like to block it from ever reaching me...
