I just added a number of addresses into the salocal file too as blacklisted. But email from them still came in. I, too, did a "zmamavisdctl restart" command after adding them, but apparently it had no effect for some reason. One of the addresses I added was in the format of:
address*@*.com
I was trying to catch variants like:
address1@gmail.com address34@yahoo.com
Any suggestions from the gang out there in Zimbra land?
