Re: [mailop] Just Make It Stop
John, I went through the same thing after my mom passed... no fun for sure, probably even more complicated that he has a say(Thankfully)! Depending on the carrier, you could perhaps leverage alias functionality as I did. I changed all of her transactional contacts to googlemail.com and created a filter fwd for all those that were in her contact list or otherwise from known ISP’s; AOL, Yahoo, etc. Then all the commercial transactional stuff was much easier to identify and filter/handle or entirely disregard in most cases. I tried the nuclear approach as Tara mentioned, but I found small little vanity domains were hosted by the big ESP’s. Stuff got by - even items I hadn’t anticipated such as the water bill Good Luck, Bob From: mailop On Behalf Of Tara Natanson Sent: Thursday, December 13, 2018 1:14 PM To: John Levine Cc: mailop Subject: Re: [mailop] Just Make It Stop Hey John, *waves* I'm still here.

This has of course the side effect that you won't be able to register that address on any list hosted on Mailchimp afterwards. A "global" (as in Mailchimp) unsubscribe instead would be amazing though.

Does the mailbox provider/MTA support restricting senders to those already in the address book? I've seen this work very well in a broadly similar scenario.
