Re:Filters with a Mail Server
Posted by: Anonymous Coward on October 29, 2003 08:53 PMBut actually you should never trash mail at the MTA level, before the final recipient can judge for him/herself about the nature of the content.
The risk of loosing a legitimate e-mail (0.1 % means 1 msg in 1000 it's possibly a classification error) is too big for doing that.
The safest option is to flag the mail as spam, so that the recipient can have it autosorted, but still transfer it to the recipient's mailbox.
Agree, this doesn't solve the problem of the unwanted traffic, though.
