RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Message Delay. Was: Feature request: no displayable text in body no displayable text in body

[Pete McNeil]

They would be delayed only on the first day. Ever after they would be 
passed normally because they would be in the list. Often delays such as 
this are introduced randomly in email systems due simply to system loads or 
perhaps the chance that the poor sap on the receiving end was buried in 
unplanned meetings the entire afternoon (been there more than once? I 
have)... so, most of the time nobody would notice - and somebody new would 
have no immediate expectations regarding the speed of response so they 
would be even less likely to notice. Once their first message went through 
everything would work "at wire speed" so to speak.

PS: I'm sure that certain "tweaks" could easily be added to the process to 
help also... such as anything explicitly white-listed passing through 
immediately and so forth. An example might be if a corp used their product 
names and IDs in special rules in Message Sniffer, then that rule group's 
code might be used to white-rule any messages to the sales department for 
immediate transit.

What about that new client you just got that gets hundreds of legit messages
per day. The IPs of the senders will be unknown to you. Are you going to
hold all of those?
