I am getting annoying mail spam to non-existent addresses at my site. It of course fails, but it clogs up the logs. Since I don’t have the source IP addresses, is there any way I can block email by source address? I know they keep jumping around, but I am looking for suggestions. My Discourse is self hosted.
