Hello,
FWIW he currently does a. Rejecting at SMTP time causes backscatter on
forwarded mail, as the forwarding host cannot reject because it
already has accepted the mail.
For my personal mail I usually reject spam that is directly delivered
and drop the one I receive through forwarding. - Which is easy for me
as this is just my personal mail and I know which hosts forward to me.
- I guess this is next to impossile for Ian.
