Would it be possible to include a "Blacklist All" button in the nightly Graymail report? This would automatically blacklist the senders of those spams and would send a report to Sonic showing which addresses had been blacklisted. The current blacklist method is so cumbersome I never bother using it. Wouldn't making blacklisting easier help Sonic to build stronger front end spam filtering?

If embedding in the Graymail report is too hard, here's another idea. When looking at Graymail in Member Tools, there are buttons for Delete, Deliver to Inbox, and Deliver to Inbox and Whitelist. Could you add a button for Delete and Blacklist Sender? Users could then "select all" and with a single click blacklist up to 100 spammer addresses at a time. Again, this data could be sent to Sonic to help them create more robust front end spam filtering.

I like it. It seems like I'm deleting the same spam over and over again. It might need to be smarter than just blacklisting, though? A lot of these guys use random email addresses that are probably not even real.

Many spammers don't reuse the same sending address when making bombing runs, so I'm skeptical that blacklisting will catch that much spam. I'm more curious about this item in my mail headers:

X-Spam-Status: No, score=-0.5 required=5.0 tests=RP_MATCHES_RCVD
autolearn=disabled version=3.3.2

Can that be enabled?

Not by a user. This came up internally a couple weeks ago and may turn it back on. (It has been so long nobody remembers why we have it disabled.) We are also planning on evaluating a new spam filter system and so this is frankly all up in the air at this point.

Sounds good. ...thanks!
