I want to filter out generic, marketing based emails ("role based emails", e.g. orders#example.com, newsletter#example.com).
The Rapportive Chrome extension seems to label role based emails pretty accurately. Not only does it get the ultra generic emails, but it classifies correctly non-common role based emails like slashdot#slashdot.org, nytdirect#nytimes.com, etc.
I'm looking for either A) a comprehensive list of role based email addresses or 2) an algorithm to determine whether an email is a role based email (is there a header I should be looking at?).
Found my answer: most reputable mail list servers are including the List-Unsubscribe header in the email message.

Iam using mailman3 and I just want to set a FROM name for my lists. Currently the FROM for lists for example the welcome mail etc. is just the mailaddress like LISTNAME#lists.example.com but I would like to have it like My List <listname#lists.example.com>. I could not find the correct setting here:
https://docs.mailman3.org/projects/mailman/en/latest/src/mailman/config/docs/config.html#schema-cfg
to achieve that and hope there is a solution for that
The mailing list display name is not used when sending service emails (like the welcome email). Also, they are being sent from addresses like listname-request#lists.example.com rather than from the main list's address.
Certain emails like (un)subscription notifications might be sent from an email defined in the site-owner parameter, but they are for list owners, not regular members.
I have a marketing email in which I want to include some contact information dynamically, but I would like to encrypt it.
In my example, I have a button with a query string containing contact information that I would like to encrypt/obfuscate.
So far I have looked into two options:
Use handlebars to apply transformations
Add a new calculated field to the Contact
From the reading I have done, neither option is possible due to current limitations because:
I cannot add custom Handlebar helper functions to emails
Calculated fields are limited in terms of the operations that can be used
How can I do this?

This is the Scenario:
In the same Azure tenant, I used one account (user_1_address) to send emails to the other account (user_2_address) using outlook (o365).
I sent 3 emails, one where user_2_address is BCCed, one CCed, and one when it's the TO recipient.
I'm using Microsoft graph API to get a list of emails received by user_2_address in a specific time range, using this query:
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/users/{<user_2_id>}/messages?$filter=
receivedDateTime ge <some date> and receivedDateTime lt <some other date>
and isDraft eq false
and sender/emailAddress/address ne '<user_2_address>'
I'm getting all the three emails user_2_address had received from user_1_address. But in the email user_2 was BCCed the bccRecipients list is empty, when it should contain user_2_address :(
I have seen this question about sending an email from Gmail and BCC an outlook user:
Microsoft graph API: empty BCC field
In that case, also the bccRecipients list was empty, but it was resolved by saying the BCC is removed when sending the emails from an external source (Gmail in that case). When for me it's not an external source - both users are using outlook in the same tenant.
So my questions are:
Is it the desired behaviour, or is it a bug?
Now, let's say I'm using the query above where I get all emails where the sender is not the user_2_address and it's not a draft. Can I assume that every email I get where user_2_address is not in the ccRecipients and toRecipients lists - that email was BCCed to user_2_address?
Thanks!
The bcc field in a Message is an envelope (P1) recipient only so you should always expect that it will be blank (no matter the context inside a tenant really make no difference). Like the other post referenced if it wasn't blank it would break the RFC and the purpose of a BCC, the only exception is the sent item (which is just a copy of the sent message)
No there are many scenarios that would break that particular logic eg forwarded email is one the comes to mind. You could certainly refine you result set that way, one thing you might want to examine is the X-MS-Exchange-Organization-Recipient-P2-Type: mail header that should get set in your internal to internal scenario (you need to look at the PidTagTransportMessageHeaders extended property to see it)
For example, I have a field that give user to type their domain, the user can type any domain on this, but I don't valid this domain is belong that user. Of course, I can generate a random number text file for user to upload, and when I get the random number text file, if it is match, I can just treat it as a valid domain holder. But, except from this method, is that anyway to do so? Thanks.
Options I have seen:
Have user Create a Text file in document root, check for it
Send Email to contacts listed in whois (Or other ROLE type accounts (postmaster, hostmaster, etc...), with token they need to
return
Have them create an 'A' record in their DNS that is unique and you can query for.
There really isn't any other way of telling if they have control over the domain. Using whois information isn't 100% accurate as people don't update it, or their info isn't registered to them, or is hidden behind something like domains by proxy. There is no standard information in DNS, that can tell you ownership. Since google uses the DNS method and the text file method (I think), you can probably safely assume that is a good way to verify it.
I was wondering if anyone knew whether there is a unique identifier attached to an email that I can use to verify whether emails are the same? I know about the EntryID and PR_SEARCH_KEY, but i need something abit more specific if it exists.
Supposed I forward an email to 3 people. I want to make sure that at most 1 copy of those forwarded emails is added to a database. Is there an identifier that will be shared between those three emails that i can record and use to disallow entry of the other two? Or will I have to add a manual tag somewhere on the email?
thanks
The obvious answer is the Message-ID, which all good emailers use. However, not everyone in the world uses it.
