And that makes you one of a million admins. Why not whitelist their domains in 
postfix, then scan in MS.

But in some situations it's not possible to let them deal with it or to have 
the sender send the email again.
These situations can lead to nasty discussion with bosses/endusers/spause.

Therefore I rather spend some money on cpu-power/ram/storage (which come rather 
cheap nowadays) and avoid that situation all together by putting the mail aside 
for some time.

But that's just my opinion and method of work.

I removed the blacklists from postfix and configured them in mailscanner

Hello all,

I'm checking the mail logs and see that postfix is rejecting mail based on 
blacklists and spf.
This is good because I apreciate it that it checks mails that way.
The bad is that they don't get into baruwa quarantine, which means I cannot 
check for false positives or for that one high importance email send by some 
person using the same mailserver as that spammer that got it blacklisted.

Is there a way to get these mails into quarantine in stead of being rejected by 
postfix ?

Isnt it a waste of CPU cycles to let Mailscanner do these checks.
If they are on those lists, then there was a problem at that site, and they 
need to make sure they get off that list.

I block them, at postfix level.
All companies that could not mail my company called to say they are blocked.
Then you can tell them they are blacklisted, and that they should do something 
about it.

I do not spend my CPU cycles on all that mail.
At our side it saves me around 30000 mails per mailrelay per day that needs to 
be checked and we have three relay servers.
