Exactly what happens to high scored spam, if its high is very obvious
trash and the recipient wont want to know, and well who cares what those
senders want to know :)
So I'm a firm believer that at SMTP time, you need to pick one of
550 and you're done
accept and then sort into ham mailboxes and spam mailboxes, with the
idea that the user should be checking all of them
or use both,
1 block the very obvious and non compliant; 95%
2 spam folder the "just triggering spam rules" - a problem with pop3
users (yes, speaking from an ISP world in Oceana they heavily outweigh
number of imap users) so the labelled as spam stuff is mixed in their
normal inbox ;0.1%
3 /dev/null the other obvious ; 0.0001% (ultra low becasue step 1
catches most)
4 inbox the rest
As for spam folder checking.... not even I bother with mine except for
once or twice a year
