As far as cpu/io load I would suggest that bounce would be most efficient as once the smtpd decides that it shouldnt be accepting the message it will issue a 4xx/5xx error code and exit. If your set to delete at vpopmail, then smtpd will need to accept the message, this may then be virus scanned and spam scanned and then finally deleted by vpopmail. Bill or one of the others may correct me if im wrong in the handling order of things. Shane
