There's no point in having a quarantine area without reporting what goes into it. Equally obviously, not being able to retrieve and read mis-identified spam would be a really stupid omissjon: thats what a 7 day quarantine period is for. 2) There's no mandatory need to REJECT spam. It has always been up to the recipient to decide whether to return it to the sender or not.
3) It would be rather trivial to return spam to sender with a suitable admonishment but I decided that its not worth my time to write such a discriminator and maintain yet another set of rules about what gets quarantined and what gets returned: better to quarantine it so it can be analysed with the mk 1 eyeball.
