Actually, no. The sender-blacklist-* and recipient-blacklist-* filters operate on different data from the header-blacklist-* filters. The reason is because the sender and recipient addresses are given during the SMTP protocol and aren't part of the message itself -- the addresses you see in your mail client are the From and To entries from the message header. The first paragraph here explains in a little more detail: http://www.spamdyke.org/documentation/README.html#REJECTING_SENDERS
Put another way, the sender address doesn't have to match the "From" address visible in the mail client -- well-behaved mail clients make them the same, but that's a courtesy and not a requirement. The Reply-To address is part of the message header and, again, is only a convention used by well-behaved clients. If you've ever been Bcc'd on a message, you've seen this in action -- the sender's mail client gave your address as a recipient but didn't put your address on the "To" line in the message header. -- Sam Clippinger On Sep 13, 2015, at 9:20 PM, Philip Rhoades via spamdyke-users <spamdyke-users@spamdyke.org> wrote: > Sam, > > > On 2015-09-14 11:38, Sam Clippinger via spamdyke-users wrote: >> I'm not entirely sure I understand your question... if the Reply-To >> address is always the same, you should be able to block it using the >> header blacklist filter. > > > Ah . .
