Come on, we all know ISPs are not supposed to drop anything and that there are users that insist on receiving all mail "to be sure". This has nothing to do with VBounce (which is constantly touted as being backscatter stopping tool). In not above scenarios, why would anyone want to receive backscatter? VBounce is currently a FP-prone "match or not match" tool for that purpose. Either you want backscatter or you don't. For other things it's perfectly fine to tag "maybe spam" and discard "sure spam". Now you can just hope that VBounce gets it over the discard limit.
