bird email mailboxes receive-rules create
Usage
Code example
bird email mailboxes receive-rules create <mailbox-id> [flags]Description
Add a receive rule
Add an allow or block rule for a sender address or domain to a mailbox. Block always wins over allow; up to 200 rules per mailbox.
Build the request from flags, a JSON ReceiveRuleCreate body via --body-file ("-" reads
stdin), or both — a flag overrides the matching body field. Run --example to
print a ready-to-edit body, or --dry-run to print the resolved request without
sending it.
