Appreciate the reply, but I wasn't asking how to set it up. I thought
my question made it clear I was asking about the pros/cons of the
placement of SA in the mail flow.
No, that wasn’t clear. At least not to me.
The main advantage to checking spam status early is to reject the mail
outright and possibly black list the sending IP address. the
disadvantage, of course, is you have to hold the connection long
enough to score the email.
The main advantage to scoring after delivery is that you can foist the
work off to an LDA the can, honestly, take as long as it wants to
process and score the mail. Also, this might be an entirely different
machine than the one receiving mail. The disadvantage is you receive a
lot more spam.
This is not a LDA vs MTA issue. It's one of pre/post queue. But you're
still not answering the questions I asked. Please refer to my earlier
re-statement of the question, thanks.
