So my question is this, can I block an email if the full name doesn't match
the
email address?
Really bad idea... my Adress iss foobar(_at_)moins(_dot_)de how would you
know if
this mail is spam?
You missed the thrust of his question, thought I misinterputed it
myself at first.
That being said it's still a bad idea. Given the rule that was
sugested you would force any mail sent directly to you to have your
full (and correct) name attached to it, when having a descriptive name
acssociated with the email address is not a requirement.
So if someone slips up and leaves out the doubble 'n' or just uses
your first name. or doesn't include you name at all... just a bare
email, you would discard it.
As a scoring factor it might be usefull, but I wouldn't put too much
weight on it.
