Mail Recipient Blocklist

Beta License: AGPL-3 OCA/mail Translate me on Weblate Try me on Runboat

Blocks outgoing emails addressed to recipients matching configurable block rules. Rules can match exact emails, domains, contained text, wildcard patterns or regular expressions. The block is enforced both on queued Odoo emails (mail.mail) and on direct SMTP deliveries (ir.mail_server).

Table of contents

Usage

To configure blocked recipients:

  1. Go to Settings > Technical > Email > Recipient Block Rules.

    Recipient block rule menu

  2. Create a new rule or edit an existing one. For each rule, set a name, choose the pattern type, define the pattern, and keep the rule active.

  3. Choose the pattern type according to the recipients you need to block:

    • Exact email: matches one complete email address.
    • Domain: matches all recipients in a domain.
    • Contains: matches recipients containing the configured text.
    • Wildcard: supports shell-style wildcards such as *@example.com.
    • Regular expression: supports Python regular expressions.

  4. Save the rule. Outgoing emails are filtered before delivery. If all recipients are blocked, the email is cancelled. If only some recipients are blocked, Odoo sends the email to the remaining allowed recipients.

A default rule blocks Amazon Marketplace aliases matching @marketplace.amazon..

Archived rules are ignored. If all matching rules are archived, Odoo will use its standard outgoing mail flow for those recipients.
