How to configure the Spam inbox and retrieve emails?

Crisp takes email security seriously, helping protect customers against spoofing, phishing attempts, and other forms of unwanted email.


While Crisp automatically rejects the most severe spam and emails that fail to comply with basic authentication requirements, some suspicious emails may still be received and redirected to your Spam inbox for review.


This includes:

  • Spam of moderate or high level
  • Emails failing DMARC checks


Note that emails sent from servers without any SPF record or DKIM signature are automatically rejected and will not appear in the Spam inbox.


You can enable the Spam inbox by navigating to Settings > Email Settings > Email Behaviour and enabling Send emails that might be junk to the Spam inbox



Enabling the Spam inbox


Once enabled, suspicious emails will appear in a dedicated Spam inbox within your Crisp inbox.


From there, you can review them and choose whether to:


  • Accept them, in which case they will be moved back to your main inbox
  • Reject them, if they are indeed unwanted

Blocking spam automatically with Triage


In addition to Crisp’s built-in spam detection, you can also create your own rules to automatically mark conversations as spam using the Triage feature.


This is useful if you want to block specific senders, domains, keywords, or message patterns yourself.


To do so, navigate to:

Settings > Inbox Settings > Automatic Triage


There, you can create Block Rules that will automatically:

  • Mark matching conversations as spam
  • Or drop them permanently


This gives you more control over what should be considered unwanted in your workspace.

When a message is marked as spam, it is redirected to the Spam inbox so that you can still review it manually. When a message is dropped, it is permanently discarded and will not appear in the Spam inbox at all.
