Good morning, 

I am looking to rapidly add emails to the "blocked senders" list in Gmail>Spam, phishing, and malware section.  I have not been able to find any documentation online. 

Is this possible? Currently the process is manual and seemingly overtedius . 

Thanks in advance, 
Aaron

There is no API support for this, thus GAM can't help.

Thanks for the quick response Ross.  That is a bummer.  This a very cumbersome process.  

Does anyone have any tricks to speed things up?

I'm not an expert, because it's other folks on my team that actually do it, but as a brief sketch, we often base those sorts of spam/phish blocks on regular expressions built around the subject or content of the messages, not on trying to block individual senders. It has also helped (some, at least) that we're now at 100% reject settings for DMARC, and are also rejecting all unauthenticated mail (and are heading towards rejecting all mail that's not TLS).

Hope that helps,

Ian

I also find this cumbersome and wish there was API support so we can use GAM
