I have this listing site built up in cake php. The site has profile pages containing contact forms to contact these profile owners. I have integrated mandrill to this site to manage email notification sendings.
If a general visitor contact the profile owner then email goes to three people
To the Profile owner
To the site Admin
To visitor as well.
Now the problem is certain domains are continuously trying to send spam messages to my clients.
I have tried following to block these emails:
From Mandrill Settings, I have blocked these emails. This method works
perfectly in blocking all 3 emails initiated by spammer's email but then I
cannot block such emails all the time, as this doesn't block whole domain.
In mandrill Outbound, I have set up Rules to block emails which contain spammy content. But then I can only prevent email sending from my site to these emails and NOT what these email addresses send to my clients. As this only work for outbound emails and not inbound emails.
I have also added math captcha tool (as mandatory obviously) in the forms.
The site is hosted on Linux server. is there any way to prevent these spam emails by setting some rules like
if the email address or body contains words like 'seo, promotion..'
then Reject email
So it will block all such emails:
seo#example.com
abc#seo.com
a.bc#hostsite.com
Thank you for reading and sorry if I am confusing you.
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm trying to change "When replying to a message" (card "Accounts", section "Send mail as") to "Reply from the same address to which the message was sent" in Gmail Settings" by Gmail API (using service account that was delegated domain-wide authority) and I cannot find it in the docs (https://developers.google.com/gmail/api/v1/reference/users/settings/sendAs).
To explain why I want to do this: I'm adding certain role based Google Groups my users are member of to their send email as preferences (by the service account with domain wide authority). For example, users responsible for dealing with legal# address are member of Google Group called legal and they have legal mails in their mailbox. When responsible users change, I just change the membership and new users receive the mails. The problem is that just the first email comes to legal# and reply goes from john.smith# for example. Because of that, I decided to have them reply from legal#, so those who requests something from Legal Departament knows they are communicating with whole Legal Departament and not Mr Smith only. But when Gmail doesn't automatically choose correct address when replying to the legal mail, it doesn't do what I'm trying to do.
It doesn't matter for me if I change it in admin console or by script running on all users. I wasn't able to use any of those ways.
Thank you for your help,
Martin
I'm pretty certain that Gmail setting ("always reply from xx#yy, or reply from the same address to which the message is sent") is not available in the Gmail API. It really is a client-side issue, since the email client chooses the "From:" line when composing each message or reply.
For your issue, you should be able to use Google groups as a collaborative inbox, see: https://support.google.com/a/answer/167430?hl=en

I am new to Salesforce development and so would greatly appreciate any help for the following:
We have a Payment center app (somewhat like Zuora) that does invoicing and billing. Now this packaged app has a scheduler that sends reminders for declined credit cards etc daily at 5:00am.
What we are trying to achieve is that we have 3 email address fields (one standard and two custom) on Account. We want the email to be sent to all three addresses.
Since it is being run by sheduler that sends a number of reminders so am not sure how to do it.
One way I was thinking was to have a workflow rule on task object so that whenever an email with "Failed Payment" is created then it should send an email alert to the other two other email addresses. What I am not sure about is how to include those email addresses in email alert?
Thanks!
mydomain.com is Google Apps linked to my GAE application (and verified). Currently only one user is allowed at custom domains, so I've registered admin#mydomain.com. Now, I would like to send emails from noreply#mydomain.com. I try to add this user as Developer in Permissions section of my GAE application, it sends the message (which I actually receive at admin#mydomain.com), I accept the invitation as admin#mydomain.com, but it doesn't help.
So, how to send emails from noreply#mydomain.com?
You can enable the trial (lasts for 30 days) and add as many users as you want. You can send emails to them to accept the invitations in GAE and after accepting them you can delete these users to fall back in the free version with only one user.
I have not been able to test the below, as I don't have the new single account Google Apps.
It all depends on if you still want the admin#domain.com user. If not I suggest the following;
For safety link a non-domain email as an owner to your App Engine application
Rename your current Google Apps user from admin to noreply
You should be able to send emails as noreply#domain.com.
If you still want admin#domain.com, maybe you can create an alias for the noreply account?
My GAE app sends email, and I followed Jeff Atwood's excellent article to improve the likelihood of email delivery.
The first two steps are really easy, but setting up a Sender ID record is more challenging. The article provides a link to a "Wizard" to help do this, but I don't know the answer to many of the questions in the wizard.
I use Google Apps for email so I'm thinking the Sender ID record should be the same for many other people in my situation (Google Apps and GAE users).
Can anyone point me to a Sender ID record for this?
EDIT:
This page explains how to set the SPF and SenderID record for Amazon SES, and gives the following TXT record for SPF:
v=spf1 include:amazonses.com -all
and the following TXT record for SenderID:
spf2.0/pra include:amazonses.com -all
Leontx's answer appears to give an SPF record and not a SenderID record.
Also, when I look at the headers of the email I send with GAE, there are notes saying that SPF authentication passes even though I haven't added either of the above TXT records to my domain. There is no info in the headers about SenderID.
I'm still confused about this, but I will now be using Amazon SES to send email. It is really cheap and it seems that Amazon takes a lot more care than Google to help make sure that email gets delivered.
Here's the TXT record I had to create to get SenderID to pass:
Host: #
Text value: v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com ~all
But I had to get both SenderID and DKIM passing to get mail into Hotmail's inbox. To get DKIM to pass I had to create a custom domain for our GAE app that matched the domain of the email's From address. Then I had enable DKIM through that domain's Google Apps account. Then it finally worked.
GAE mail (I use Python) does not give any feedback when you send mail. To receive feedback you have to use another service /API. I use Amazon SES in my applications.
We are sending newsletters to users subscribed through a TV Show website, using Google App Engine Java Mail API.
The FROM address we are using are name#example.com but the problem occurs with name#[appid].appspotmail.com as well.
We already setup a SPF and DKIM records and we have a low score on SpamAssassin (about 0.7).
All others email providers receive the email normally (hotmail, yahoo, aol, etc.), but, in Gmail, ALL messages are sent straight to Spam folder. Every single one.
Anyone have a clue on this?
If all the other mail providers are working, you may want to look at gmail's spam policy: https://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=81126 It may shed some light on the issues you're having.
