    I really like the blackllist checking being built-in. Frankly, I'd also be a fan of getting notifications about it. I suppose UX-wise, perhaps this is the appropriate sort of thing to trigger a yellow status on email.

    @marcusquinn Thank's Marcus, I'll follow your advice to check the reputation BEFORE, and if reputation is poor, just delete and purchase new one. Should be interesting that ISP's do themself this control and tell BEFORE the IP reputation.

    Personally, I'm migrating away from GMail, and wouldn't recommend it, although I appreciate it's difficult to cut those ties for some. Another possible solution: would be to forward to any other email service that does support POP3 but doesn't have spam filtering. That way, you're not sending email to GMail, it's pulling and filtering. Appreciate that a 3 mailserver setup is odd though, but then so is GMail. I think it's worth just having a POP3 post in Feature Requests though, purely as a way to allow for any other 3rd party email someone wanted to do this with. I can see privacy advantages in POP3 as well, if one didn't want emails stored on their Cloudron and just locally. I wouldn't like to see POP3 ignored as without advantage, when if privacy is a concern, that could be a legitimate use-case.

    @girish Yes I definitely do use mailing lists, sorry I thought I noted that before. Many (though I don’t think all) of the email directories that are unexpectedly found in this directory are from mailing list addresses. In other words they are on the recipient list of a mailing list. So it’s as if the mailing list feature is creating these too, but it doesn’t make sense of course to have one on the forwarding addresses. The mailing list email I could see and understand I guess since it’s still trying to identify spam to not forward, but I don’t get why it’s adding the destination addresses in as if they’re mailboxes that it can learn from. I can’t reproduce on-demand that I’ve seen so far but just giving it time for a day or two and they’ll start to appear. I guess sending an email to the mailing list would trigger it, I can try that too next time I’m at my computer again.

    I also had some pretty annoying spam, which just wouldn't get marked as spam, despite marking the very same mail previously as spam more than once. In my case tweaking the bayes filter worked very well, but your milage may vary (a lot of spam for me is in German) You can set custom spam assassin rules https://docs.cloudron.io/email/#custom-spam-filtering-rules and there the bayes values like this: score BAYES_999 2.0 score BAYES_99 4.5 But these values may probably have to be adjusted to your case, so I wouldn't bump up the weights too much to avoid marking ham as spam too often. I hope we can improve on that in the future as having to tweak such rules manually is really not a good strategy.

    OK, with @NCKNE 's help we got this figured out. Cloudron has a anti-spoof check where we don't allow external servers to send email with FROM address set to any incoming domain. In this case, a backup MX is relaying email to Cloudron and it is correctly detected as spoof-ed email. The workaround is to simply whitelist the MX's IP in the SPF record. With this Cloudron has the "authorization" that the server is allowed to relay such email and accepts the mail. I have added a section in our doc here - https://cloudron.io/documentation/email/#alternate-mx

    @d19dotca Currently, there is no way. The SA settings are set in stone. I can open up our mail addon git repo tomorrow so you can get a better idea of how we have implemented it. But overall, our idea was that customers don't have to deal with implementation details like SA (for example, maybe we use rspamd later) and that spam detection should just work. If you have SA expertise, I am happy to incorporate your suggestions into the default settings.

    @girish I just wanted to add another reason why we need better spam control exposed to admins... I just had a client who had their home IP address blacklisted by Spamhaus in their PBL because of the range of IP it was found in, even though they were not spamming at all (since the PBL blocks IP ranges). I have asked for it to be delisted but it'd be awesome if in the future I could just whitelist the IP address or something like that to quickly resolve it for them. Update: Just found https://cloudron.io/documentation/email/#blacklist-domains-and-ips which is for blacklisting but I extrapolated from that and found the related whitelist files too, so used that. This needs to be added to the docs. I will see if I can submit that change in the git for you guys. With that said though, it'd still be nice to see this exposed in the UI so if an admin is on the road / unable to SSH to the server, it can be easily whitelisted still.

    @necrevistonnezr said in How does spam work with special mail folders?: @girish Wouldn't it make sense to create hardlinks instead of symlinks for these folders so that you don't have duplicate folders? Ar am I overlooking something? The cloudron backup logic does not understand hardlinks. It would then end up taking backup of your junk folder twice. This is unlike symlinks which is ignored by the backup code. Neither the symlink nor the contents of a symlink are backed up. This does bring up an important point that if you move your mail server to a different server, you have to remember to create this symlink by hand again!
