# `bird email mailboxes receive-rules`

## Usage

```bash
bird email mailboxes receive-rules
```

## Description

Manage the receive rules for a mailbox. A rule allows or blocks inbound mail
by sender address or domain. Block rules always win over allow rules and over the
reply admission on allowlist mailboxes. A block rule silently drops matching messages.

Reads return JSON; list is paginated. Mutations take flags and/or a --body-file JSON body (flags overriding); run --example to print the body shape or --dry-run to preview the request. Destructive commands require --yes.
