286821 - spam detection enhancement: allow option to black list any sender not in address book

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Thunderbird :: General, enhancement)

Description

[David J. Marcus]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: 20041206

As the owner of my own domain I get 100's of spams a day.

I need an option to blacklist any sender *not* in my address book.

Currently, the only supported option is to white list the entries in my address 
book, but the converse - black listing anyone not in my address book - is not 
available.

Prior to switching to Thunderbird, I used Eudora as my email client. It had an 
option to classify as 'junk' any email from a sender not in my email address 
book.

This new feature should also allow me to specify a list of 'white' domains from 
which all email is considered white-listed. My motivation here is to allow 
newletters email from Microsoft (and the like) where the sender's domain is 
always from Microsoft, but the string in front of the '@' changes at each issue 
(looks like they are using a GUID)

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
Currently, the ability to specify that all email from senders not in the 
address book is to be treated as spam does not exist.

Wrong.
Open the message filter for your Account, select "sender" "isn't in my
adressbook"....
Action: Set junk status to "junk" or move it directly to your junk folder...

-> invalid
