Blacklisting pests - 11/21/12 04:15 PM
There is someone from whom I no longer wish to receive emails. The obvious solution is to blacklist them.
Then I wondered, how would that manifest itself to the sender?
So I went into the black/whitelist control panel, and blacklisted another of my (rarely used) yahoo accounts. In another window, I logged into that yahoo account and sent a test email to myself.
Then waited.
Whoah! I only had to "wait" for one second. The test email was immediately bounced back with "The user (realname@realaddress) does not accept mail from your address."
I'm impressed.
