Email Blocklist

An email blocklist (also called a blacklist) is a list of senders, domains, or email addresses that should always be blocked, regardless of spam scoring. Email Ferret's blocklist ensures known spam senders, unwanted vendors, or specific domains are never allowed through, even if they might otherwise pass spam detection.

Domain-level blocks block all emails from an entire domain (e.g., @spamdomain.com blocks all emails from that domain). Address-level blocks block only a specific email address. Domain-level blocks are more powerful but should be used carefully to avoid blocking legitimate emails from the same domain.

You can add emails to your blocklist in several ways: (1) Add individual email addresses, (2) Add entire domains (e.g., @spamdomain.com), (3) Add senders from flagged emails directly from the Email Ferret dashboard. Blocklist entries take effect immediately and apply to all future emails from those senders.

Blocklisted emails receive a maximum spam score and are always blocked, regardless of other factors. This ensures known spam senders are never allowed through, even if they might otherwise pass spam detection. Blocklist entries override all other spam scoring.

Yes, Email Ferret supports multiple Gmail accounts, and each account has its own blocklist. This allows you to maintain separate blocklists for personal and business Gmail accounts, each tailored to your specific needs.
