      Hi.
      I've got a question.
      I can activate the "catch-all" in the mail settings, so that all emails are forwarded to a mailbox.
      Then I can enter a random address on any page, because everything is forwarded (e.g. cloudronforum@cloudron.com).
      If an address is now leaked (cloudronforum@cloudron.com), can I prevent all emails sent to this address from being forwarded? The other mails should of course still be forwarded...
      Is there such a black list?

            Collecting mail via catchall is not common but I have a pretty messed up solution to you problem ^^ You could create an actual inbox for the address you want to block and delete or reject all incoming mails via a mail sieve filter. To make it easier, every time you want to "block" another incoming address, you could make it an alias of said "special" mailbox.

              AKA the /dev/null mailbox 😆

                No, to the best of my knowledge it applies to any addresses in the mail. In any case this is how I prevent these kind mails from popping up in my mailbox.

                That could work as well, but another mailbox is not necessary. You can just filter on the recipient address.
