Mailcow Quarantine List - ENV Sender Address Missing in Table

Open webboty opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

Summary

The table that shows all quarantined email entries on the quarantine view, should contain the envelope from address as well. This could be resolved by either an additional column or by showing the env address of the sender in smaller and maybe lighter color just beneath the SMTP Sender address. The reasson why this feature is required is because it makes "checking / scanning" the quarantine entries much faster.

Often good mail (good marketing and newsletters) are send through SMTP gateways. Seeing an email entry with the SMTP From address only makes it (very often) impossible if the entry is just a marketing message or actually spam.

Showing the envelope from email usually shows the real senders domain, in this way we know if we actually signed up for news of this sender etc.

Motivation

This feature helps the user to identify spam much easier in the quantined view.

Right now the env sender can only be checked when clicking on the view button of the entry. This is very time consuming - even if it just adds 3-4 seconds per entry. Checking a big list to identify spam adds up quickly ... to minutes and then hours (over time) spent.

Adding this info will save the user a ton of time over the long run - in the same time it also improves quality.

Not having the ENV sender info in the list also may create some false positives for learning SPAM (which can confuse the rspamd set up in the long run) - this is because often we do not click the view button (as of lack of time) but just assume it is spam if we do not recognize the smtp sender or subject line. However often it is a totally valid newsletters we signed up for we accidentally marked as spam.

This hurts the sender (delivery rate or bounce ... also has a negative impact as of feedback loops with SMTP gateways etc.). It also decreases the correctness of filtering spam from newsletters we signed up for, because of incorrect rspamd training.
