After much internal debate (about a year ago) we started rejecting high rated spam for a variety of motivations, and we do not also deliver to the recipient like your colleague proposes. We make one-off exceptions, and the only general exception is if the message is sent from a list, since we don't want recipients to be unsubscribed automatically.

My colleague has proposed that at smtp time, if a mail is deemed as spam, the server issues a reject code, but then to too accept the mail and forward the mail the user for incase its a false positive. His logic is that, that the spammer does not build up a database. Currently what we do is, if the score is between 5 and 15, just accept and move the spam to the users SPAM box. Above 15 we out right block. I am on the fence on this one, hence the reason to pick the communities brain. If anyone can share any thoughts or concerns, please can you share. Many thanks Brent _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://chilli.nosignal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mailop _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://chilli.nosignal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mailop
