Hello mailops:
How does one report an insistent spammer to Mailgun? does it even make
sense to report?
Scenario:
* I use dedicated aliases for each specific commerce site I engage with.
* I expect to receive only emails from said commerce site; and only
emails I opted in. I somewhat tolerate the mostly annoying mails from
subcontracted services that said commerce site believes they can send me
without asking for permission, such as reviews/rating requests
("legitimate interest") or shipping progress.
* Occasionally, a commerce site is hacked, the alias is harvested and
abused with unrelated, irrelevant spam.
Usually, one of two things happen: I hit the delete key a couple of time
and the abuse subsides; or the abuse grows to more abusive senders at
which point I drop the alias and create a new one (or change supplier
for one with better practices).
This one particular abuser, however, has been systematically persistent.
Does it make sense to report them to Mailgun? will it make a dent in
the spammiverse?
And is the effort/benefit-ratio such that reporting is easier and more
beneficial to recipients than outright blocking the sender at server
(Postfix) level?
Thanks in advance for your brain cycles,
