Ah. I have misused it, then. Will set back to Hold for now. But now I can't tell which rule triggered the Hold (not without examining all of the headers of each message, which is too tedious to bother with). > Or 'Reject', which would inform legitimate senders there is a problem > (and the could tell us). If we're absolutely certain a message is spam, I would rather Discard to cut down on backscatter where the spammer has spoofed a sender using a legitimate address, as Reject would do, however ... > So 'Hold' for 'probably spam' and Discard/Reject for 'surely spam' For now I'm going with the conservative route: Hold everything. If turns out to be too much of a burden for me to process held messages manually, and I can't easily distinguish reason for holding a message, I may later revise this just to Reject everything and accept the fact that this will annoy some legitimate people with backscatter.
