@james Yes it’s technically a feature request. I only threw it in here since it seemed like Girish was already making adjustments to the filtering in the mail event log viewer. If you’re okay forking it to a feature request, that’s totally fine.

@girish Oh that is interesting, I didn’t realize we could customize the DNS server. This is helpful. Thanks so much!

there are also some posts from @d19dotca a while back about fine tuning spam rules

Hello @iamthefij Did this ever get resolved? Did you get access to the mail-addon repo? Is assistance still required?

Yes they are added via the custom spam filtering. I have to check with the client as to whether they are going to inbox or junk folder, they might be expecting them to be blocked outright. Also some spam has the key words as sender name, rather than in the subject... Not sure how to classify that.

Thanks - that sounds interesting. Didn't know that - but this is a reason to rethink my approach.

@Kubernetes lol, thanks, thats both useful, and a laugh at myself, at my new level of stupidity unlocked.

Investigating this in the support ticket, will update this post accordingly when we find the root cause.

Not 100% sure but are there any files under /home/yellowtent/boxdata/mail/spamd/<mailboxname> ? Those are the per mailbox spamassassin bayes databases. Maybe it's picking up something from there?

@necrevistonnezr I was looking in the forum Thank you!

@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.
