Block mail TO a specific address

[fishnyc22]

I have a catchall that I parse based on certain TO criteria (long story). I consistently get junk mail to 2 specific non-existent addresses. Since the catch-all is enabled I end up parsing all this junk.

Is it possible to completely block or delete these messages when they come in?

Thx

you could add that 2 addresses in black list in Plesk CP.
General->clients->your_client->your_domain->mail->Spam_icon_for_you_mail->black_list
and add this two specific mail addresses.

Thx
But isn't the black list for mail coming FROM an address. I actually want to block/delete messages addressed to [email protected] that come FROM any address.

Thx for the reply. But as I said, the address doesnt exist. Long story short. I have 1 domain on my server and 4000 users with accounts to the service I run. I wanted to have each user get an alias an run a script when any mail comes into that account, but I couldnt seem to figure it out, so instead I use catch all and check that mailbox for mail addressed to a specific user in my database.

I realize its not efficient, but they mail that comes in is few and far between so its worked fine.

I wish I could figure out alias's and scripting a parser incoming mail, but it was taking to long.

So 2 non-existing addresses are gettting tons of spam. I'd like to prevent these accounts from getting mail.

I guess I could actually CREATE these accounts but without a mailbox. but thats backwards It think.

Why not just "reject" mail for non-existing addresses for that domain? If mail for a non-existing address comes in and the "reject" is selected, the email is deleted. No bounce message is sent to the originator.

I wish I could but as I mentioned above. I use the catchall to parse incoming messgaes to my users. they don't have email accounts, but messages can come into them and appear in the their inbox if sent to their [email protected] (which doesnt exist).

I would LOVE to figure out how to parse the mail coming it. I tried to follow THIS direction but it didnt work

Any suggestions are appreciated. I'm now running 8.2
