Friend Override Blacklist Domain?

Thu Nov 07, 2024 5:08 am

Greetings

I'm new to this forum but not to MailWasher Pro - so forgive me if this question has been asked before.

I've been getting spam from users who send using a gmail account - or at least they're spoofing as a gmail account sender.

I believe this used to work - where I blackmail the entire *@gmail.com domain - and then set up individual friends with their full gmail account address.

However, I'm not sure if recent versions of MailWasher Pro have changed the way this functions - but - I would like to see where my friends that have gmail.com accounts have their email come through - even though I have the domain *@gmail.com blocked. I thought that's how things worked at one time in the past - but - I might be mistaken.

Anyway, I really would like my gmail account "friends" to be permitted through - instead of flagging them as spam because the gmail domain is blacklisted - otherwise - too many spammers are getting wise and using goofy spoofed gmail accounts to get their junk through - and if I can just count on setting up a black list of the *.gmail.com domain - yet my friends listed for gmail would be allowed through - instead of being flagged as spam - that would be a wonderful program change if possible.

If something already exists to solve my problem - I would appreciate any suggestions.

Thank you.

Yes, that is usually no problem, as email addresses on your friendslist override domains on the blacklist.... so yes, you can have gmail.com on the blacklist as a domain, and as long as you have your friends in your friendslist they should be marked as such.

However.... there is a known issue with a small number of users where this does not work in the latest version we're working on a update now and hope to have this ready for beta testing soon...

Please email support at firetrust dot com if you'd like to try this once it is ready.

Also, I recommend you click, Settings>>Spam Tools>>Friendslist>>Options, tick, "Never mark for delete" and click Save.
Also, increase the spam rating for the Friendslist spam tool under Settings>>Spam Tools>>Spam Ratings, drag the slider for friendslist to +200.
