Great. I'll remove the erroneous comment I made in my configuration
files.

FWIW, I've set both peek-one-in='3' and grab-one-in='3' as the new
recommended default.

The passthrough option is for local sampling. We have used it 
occasionally on our spamtrap processors, but not for some time. 
Passthrough takes any messages that would have been samples and instead 
of sending them to the virtual spamtrap network it lets them go through 
with a specific result code. Presumably the local system would see the 
special result code and treat the message differently.

Please leave passthrough='no'

Thanks!
