Global Blacklist

[gbr]

Hi,

There's a global whitelist under Mail Proxy, but is there a global blacklist?

No, since the whitelist on mail-proxy level only disables the SPF-checks (this is independent of the scores SpamAssassin distributes for wrong SPF), postscreen checks (RBL lookups and protocol errors) and greylisting.

you can maybe use the Blacklist in the Rule-System - then all mail will get fed through it and then blacklisted there

why would you need a blacklist on mail-proxy level?

I hope this helps!

We have some email addresses that consistently bombard us with SPAM email. Rather than each user blacklisting that address. we have been blacklisting globally using EFA. It's a solution that works for us.

As an alternative you can create a file containing all the blacklisted ips and incorporate it into postfix's configuration
- see http://www.postfix.org/SMTPD_ACCESS_README.html (smtpd_client_restrictions)

for integrating that into PMG use the templateing system:

I hope this helps!
