BLOCK and email address

[Littlepants]

Can I block an email address from messaging my shop? I frequently (several times a week) receive a SPAM/SCAM email from one email address and it's a fake email address - bounces every time. I just delete them but it's really annoying me now.

If you use PrestaShop 1.7 you need to edit contactform module. Login to your server by ftp and go to modules/contactform open file contactform.php and after that code:

public function sendMessage()
{

add this:

if (Tools::getValue('from') == 'here_email_address@to_block.com') //Change here adress email to spammer email
   return;

Hello

If we have more that one email address to be blocked, what code should we use ?

Thank you

Hi, 

 

If you would transform the above example "If" section into an upload able array, could be a temporary solution. You could add a  custom section inside the Contactform module to allow you to add the wanted email addresses, and those would be added as extended variables (exceptions). It would take a programmer max 1H. 

I hope I helped

To use multiple emails:

$emails_not = array(
	'here_email_address@to_block.com',
    'here_email_address@to_block.com2',
    'here_email_address@to_block.com3'
);
if (in_array(Tools::getValue('from'), $emails_not))
   return;

Unfortunately this block all emails
