The benefit would be that if member A sees and reports [email protected] , members B/C/D could block [email protected] based on that info, before they get hit.
What's striking to me is that Gmail users themselves don't get flooded with these Spam messages from @gmail accounts. I suspect Google acts on heuristics we simply don't have access to, involving account creation origin, account age, etc. They can filter them almost perfectly and we are stuck training on AI slop On Monday, 28-09-2026 at 15:03 Ralph Seichter via mailop wrote: * Scott Q. via mailop: > Is there some sort of global list for listing @gmail / @outlook / > @hotmail addresses that do this sort of thing so we can all report > them I am not aware of a specific collection, and I suspect it would be of limited use anyway. As you mentioned yourself, spammers use newly created accounts. Block them, and they create more. That's a type of whack-a-mole game that's hard to win. > If not, what are you guys doing about them ? One can choose not to accept mail from any [email protected] until that sender address has been cleared, based on a recipient's request. Yes, I can hear the cries of "that's unrealistic". ;-) While certainly not an option available to many organisations, it is very effective for those willing and able to play hardball with prevoiusly unknown senders. -Ralph _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list [email protected] https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
