*Customization*: You can modify the email processing logic (e.g., message_new) to selectively or globally block contact creation based on sender addresses or domains.
*Server Actions/Filters*: Use server actions or custom filters to skip contact creation for specific email accounts.
*External Filtering*: Employ an external email filtering service to block unwanted emails before they are processed by Odoo.
