Update forward spam mail settings



API Overview

api-overview page anchor

Mail Settings instruct SendGrid to apply specific settings to every email that you send over SendGrid's v3 API or SMTP Relay. These settings include how to embed a custom footer, how to manage blocks, spam, and bounces, and more.

For a full list of Twilio SendGrid's Mail Settings, and what each one does, see our Mail Settings documentation.

You can also manage your Mail Settings in the Twilio SendGrid App(link takes you to an external page)


PATCH/v3/mail_settings/forward_spam

Base url: https://api.sendgrid.com (for global users and subusers)

Base url: https://api.eu.sendgrid.com (for EU regional subusers)

This endpoint allows you to update your current Forward Spam mail settings.

Enabling the Forward Spam setting allows you to specify email addresses to which spam reports will be forwarded. You can set multiple addresses by passing this endpoint a comma separated list of emails in a single string.

1
{
2
"email": "address1@example.com, address2@exapmle.com",
3
"enabled": true
4
}

The Forward Spam setting may also be used to receive emails sent to abuse@ and postmaster@ role addresses if you have authenticated your domain.

For example, if you authenticated example.com as your root domain and set a custom return path of sub for that domain, you could turn on Forward Spam, and any emails sent to abuse@sub.example.com or postmaster@sub.example.com would be forwarded to the email address you entered in the email field.

You can authenticate your domain using the "Authenticate a domain" endpoint or in the Sender Authentication section of the Twilio SendGrid App(link takes you to an external page). You can also configure the Forward Spam mail settings in the Mail Settings section of the Twilio SendGrid App(link takes you to an external page).

Optional

The on-behalf-of header allows you to make API calls from a parent account on behalf of the parent's Subusers or customer accounts. You will use the parent account's API key when using this header. When making a call on behalf of a customer account, the property value should be "account-id" followed by the customer account's ID (e.g., on-behalf-of: account-id <account-id>). When making a call on behalf of a Subuser, the property value should be the Subuser's username (e.g., on-behalf-of: <subuser-username>). See On Behalf Of for more information.
