Best way to blacklist spamming email address or domain

Ascar

Hello, everyone!

I am relatively new to MailCow, recently cross-graded from iRedMail. MailCow works for me and it is very solid. Yet, I am looking for a more efficient way to handle spam sources.

Right now to add an unwanted sender to a blacklist I have to:

Click on the bookmark bar to open MC login screen
Bitwarden fills in the login credentials, still I have to make the next click on the login button
Click on the Email Menu item
Click on Configuration submenu item
Click on edit domain button
Click on Spam Filter tab and enter the spam email pattern
Click on “Add Item” button

All in all - 4 pages to navigate and 8 clicks to make in order to add a single spam source to the black list.

Is there a simpler way to do it? Thunderbird add-on? 3rd-party application? The kind of solution I am looking for is like:

Receiving a spam message in mail client
Right clicking the message and selecting Block
Popup comes up with information extracted from the message header and allows me to check boxes to block individual address, domain or/and host IP address.
Perhaps an option to block on mailbox, domain or global level. Once this is done information is relayed to MailCow and blacklists are modified in the background.

Is anything like this possible at all?

Thanks

rspamd learns automatically when you move mails in and out of junk mail folder.

That’s right, I have read this part of the documentation. My point is that we often a time receive messages which we don’t want to see at all, let alone dragging them into Junk folder and classifying them as spam. We just want to reject them outright on the server level. Dragging messages around means spending time. Moreover, dragging messages out of Junk assumes that Rspamd is prone to mis-classifying good messages as spam. So, this approach means checking Junk folder regularly to see if Rspamd threw a good message into spam and manually moving bad messages into the same folder.

My question was in fact about a simplified way to blacklist / block unwanted senders.

Ascar which we don’t want to see at all,

That sounds like a Don Quixote thing 😉

Which is what rspamd milter does.

No, if you move something OUT of Junk it is classified as good message.
