hi pals

i am receiving lot of useless mails from particular email.

how to block all mails coming from that particular address.

[phoenix]

Search the forums and wiki for the word 'blacklist'.

hi phoenix

since i am using opensource edition.

hi phoenix

i found the command from wiki zimbra.

blacklist_from sales@traveloforange.com
whitelist_from bill@yahoo.net
blacklist_from *@emn-mysavingsnow.net

i am not able to execute above commands even after i logged in as zimbra user.

how to solve this

They are not commands you execute, read the wiki article on how to implement blacklist/whitelist it has the full details of what you need to do.

Here's the wiki link. It's a bit confusing as it lists 2 ways to do blacklists, but the one Phoenix is talking about is mentioned in the section for modifying the salocal.cf.in file. We're about to do this ourselves. Best of luck!!

hi Jbrabander


yes i have added the lines in "alocal.cf.in".

but it is not working.

how to solve the problem

Did you restart ZCS once you added those entries ? Also could you post the output from

su - zimbra
spamassassin -D --lint

so we can check that there are no errors in your SA configuration.

hi uxbod

i used this command to restart zimbra assassin

zmamavisdctl restart

it did not show any error in output

[Jbrabander]

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?
