I checked phplist_user_user table and the ‘blacklisted’ field was 0 for the bounced emails which phplist promised never send emails anymore. After I changed ‘add email’ to ‘add subscriber’ to the bounce processing rule, the field ‘blacklisted’ becomes 1 for newly processed bounces.
Well, how to see in the backend that the subscriber is blacklisted and will never get emails? is it possible to truly blacklist the emails somewhere in the phplist, without direct access to the database though phpmyadmin? The indication that ‘the subscriber is blacklisted’ in the subscriber page without setting him ‘blacklisted=1’ in the phplist_user_user table is confusing…
@leo2 You can use the Suppression List page, from the Subscribers menu.
Copy/paste email addresses and ensure that the checkbox for “Make suppression permanent” is checked. The subscribers will be made unconfirmed and blacklisted in the user table. phplist will then not send to those subscribers.
My suppression list is empty.
Is it possible to suppress all emails from the user_blacklist table? Or set blacklisted=1 for them in user_user table? It would be hard to make the suppression manually by copy pasting each bounced email.
Also, once I moved bounced emails to separate list , how can I set them all blacklisted in user_user table?
The Suppression List page is an input form to make subscribers unconfirmed and blacklisted in the user_user table. There isn’t an actual “suppression list”. Just copy/paste the email addresses into the form.
In phpmyadmin you can export the user_blacklist table as a .csv file, then open that in a spreadsheet to copy the email addresses.
