I think a great (and important) feature for the send module would be a blacklist of E-Mail-addresses that will be excluded from receiving mails through the send module. The best way I imagine would be a page where users can enter their address to be excluded.
Background: I've had the problem to be accused of spamming by my ISP. Somebody received nodes via the send module and wrote a complaint to the ISP.

allie mickaThat's a great idea!
However, adding this feature to Send will still leave this user of yours receiving messages from Organic Groups, Simple News, Notify, Subscriptions, any of the other 100's of mail-sending modules, and Drupal itself.
So, what I'm getting at is that your problem is much bigger than send itself. You'll want to address it at the mail-sending level, which means using/writing a separate module.
Thanks!

yan commentedI understand your point Allie Micka, but I still think this would be a good option for the send module. I explain why: I am using Drupal more like a "normal" CMS and not as a community platform. That makes that the common user is just an anonymous visitor that doesn't log in (and there is no possibility to register). That way, it is difficult to control who can use the send module. But through a blacklist, it would be possible to control who receives mails. I have had spam with the send module, as mentioned above. If there was an option for a blacklist of E-Mail addresses, I could allow the use of send module to all visitors and in case of misuse (spam) block the addresses of certain recipients. I'd really like to have that option just for this module.

jerdavisIt seems to me that something like that would make the most sense at the mimemail level, rather than at the send level - for the reasons that Allie mentioned. If you were to put effort into a patch to add something like this, I'd probably recommend doing it against mimemail.
Although that still doesn't cover anything, so yes - your best bet is probably to write a separate module.

dwwI agree with Allie that send.module is the wrong place to solve this. I also agree with yan and jerdavis that this is a potentially useful feature for mimemail.module, so I'm moving it to the right queue.
Comment #5
yan commentedDo the people that maintain the mime module have any idea if it's possible to implement such a blacklist?
