Email barring

Barring Tab
This tab appears on the Inbox Properties dialog and itself contains two tabs, Bar mail sent from... and Bar mail addressed to..., entries in which cause Mailtraq to reject incoming messages before downloading them when matching entries are found in the sender or recipient addresses, respectively, in the SMTP envelope.

Mail can be barred based on the sender's email address or based on the email address of the recipient by typing entries, one per line, into the appropriate dialog. The entries are interpreted from top to bottom by Mailtraq.

The message issued by Mailtraq when mail is rejected can be specified in the Message to Send when address is barred edit box.

The address lists in both dialogs support the following placeholders or wildcards, which can be used individually or in conjunction with each other.

* An asterisk, which represents any sequence of zero or more characters
? A question mark, which represents any single character
% A percentage sign, which represents any single number
~ A tilde (ASCII 126), which is used to exclude a wildcard specification
