[horde] Blacklist and forwarding

Hi Everybody.
Thanks for the answers.

The statement from Vilius really makes me change my perception about the
blacklisting feature, where I believe is made to block a single mailaddress
like a at a.com. But I don't see another option to make the forwarding process
easier to the user.
I believe that my suggestion can work because DSPAM will be trained based on
the signature (token) of the header of the message, no matter who the sender
is.

Is possible to implement that? I mean, when I  right-click an e-mail and
select blacklist, the system performs this extra step.

Is there another option? Like activate the report spam feature and attach it
to a forwarding process.

I hope you can help me.

Thanks.

Andre

Then probably a shell script could do both :), 1) report spam and 2) include
emails into blacklist through PHP CLI using Horde API call.

Obviously users should be trained to use Report Spam instead of Blacklist
then.

However, Andre, you should not mix these two different features. Blacklist
is not really for spam addresses these days. Spammers change email addresses
pretty often or send spam from non-existent addresses, so you just end up
with a big pile of email addresses which uses more and more server resources
to process but provides very little of value. Blacklist comes in handly only
if you would like to block one particular known real sender (a newsletter
without unsubscribtion address for example), or if you want to block whole
domain (*@*.ch) etc.

I ran into issues with domain level filtering using Ingo blacklist last year
- http://lists.horde.org/archives/horde/Week-of-Mon-20121001/044879.html

Not sure if it's changed since then.

If you submit the preference form on that page, any incorrect values should
be overridden in the preference backend. Though you can compare those users'
values directly in the database of course.

No.

This is also a terrible idea.

Use identities.

I don't want to blame anyone of the guys developing thunderbird, but the
Addressbook is kind of a joke. For some reason, there seems to be more
interest in integrating a chat-client then a working implementation of
carddav/ldap(read/write)/activesync/whatever for the addressbook.

Just my 2 cent.

Hi again, guys,
Wondering if anyone has a solution for this?  I can create, save and mark
as read, tasks on my iPhone.

But trying to do the same on a browser, still throws up the same error as
above.

Help!  :-(
