Greylisting options

Issue #560 new
Former user created an issue

Hey,

as far as I can see there is no option to be notified about mail that is currently waiting in the "quarantine" folder. It would be nice to either be able to completely disable this feature or to get batch updates (once a day or week, with title/subject of those mails, so you can quickly scope throuh these to see if there are false positives.) I had this now multiple times, that mails were in quarantine, that should have been delivered.

This is currently an issue that you have to actively look through that list especially since just for me there are about 50 mails in quarantine a day and looking through them in the interface is not as user friendly as I'd wish it be :D

If this can be configured somehow I would appreciate a pointer into the right direction. I already do some automated modifications on the Dockerfile to get caldav etc. into Roundcube. Guess a few more commands won't cause any issues.

    I am not very convinced to the idea of sending email with quarantines - it might work in small scale but own installations are 100-1000 quarantines daily, and no administrator will sort these number of emails daily. I've seen nice example from GFI which does exactly that and allows any user to discard/deliver quarantined emails targeted to his mailbox but it ads another complexity to poste itself and even for average user. I will rather tune quarantine more to be home for emails which are 99% spams and others deliver to spam folder

    Maybe I missread the questions... I thought you mean greylisted emails.

    Spam/Quarantine - The feature can be tweaked to your own setting by making the spam score for quarantine higher can't it?

    Also, if you are receiving a large amount of legitimate emails to quarantine, are you using different blacklist servers to the default?

    We get around 2,000-3,000 quarantined per day and occasionally look through it to check for % legitimate, and have found < 15 in the last 6 months. In my opinion even set at the default, the filtering is doing a great job. Are the people emailing you coming from a bad source? blacklisted IP? etc.

    SH - Just to note that deliver to spam folder can cause problems on POP accounts, as that email never actually arrives at the client.
