Difference between disable and block an alias

Open Satlinker opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Hi, I found out that both disabling and blocking accepts but discards the emails. In the documents the term "block" is misleading, it means to disable a specific sender. Is there a way to temporarily shut down ("block") an alias or a sender? What means that the sender receives a message that the address does not exist or is unavailable? That would be a great possibility to get rid of spam without deleting the whole address.

The word "blocking" should rather be replaced by "pausing" indeed. The reason the email is accepted (but not forwarded) is user can unpause the alias or a sender anytime. Please feel free to create a feature request on https://github.com/simple-login/app/discussions so this behaviour can be configured so user can choose to refuse the email (i.e. returning a 5** status) or discard the email (2** status)
