SV: handling spam from gmail.

[Marc Roos]

I know it is not dovecot who should fix this. But anyone using dovecot 
is using an MTA, and receiving spam ;) I know how to look at email 
headers. Spf and dkim is not solving anything here.

This is not a job for dovecot. You should look into whatever is your MTA 
(exim, postfix etc) and implement the solution there.

But my initial suggestion is to check SPF and DKIM of the email. Because 
I know that gmail does terminate spammers quick, but if you don't 
validate SPF or DKIM, you might be a victim of spoofed Gmail email.

I am sick of this gmail spam. Does anyone know a solution where I can do 
something like this:

1. received email from adcpni444 at gmail.com 2. system recognizes this 
email address has been 'whitelisted', continue with 7.
3. system recognizes as this email never been seen before 4. auto reply 
with something like (maybe with a wait time of x hours):
   Your message did not receive the final recipient. You are sending 
from a known spam provider
   network that is why we blocked your message. Please confirm that:
   - you are not a spammer and
   - you have permission to use the mail adress you send your message to
   - you and your provider agree to uphold GDPR legislation
   - you and your provider are liable for damages when breaching any of 
the above.

5. sender clicks confirm url
6. email address is added to some white list.
7. email is delivered to recipient.
