Before queue filtering is more expensive that post queue filtering. It makes more sense in this case to simply accept all mail and forget about REJECTing what SA marks as spam. Run a post queue filter and save all spam to a spam folder with a procmail, sieve, etc, script. The only time a human will see the REJECT is on a false positive. Spammers don't look at rejects. So why bother telling a spamming MTA you rejected the message when you actually accepted it? This simply adds unnecessary expense to your mail transactions with zero benefit to you. -- Stan
