I don't like to delete either. I just the other week move almost fully into a 100% weighted system (used to delete spamcop failed and had a few ones that was set to bounce). If the weight is above 30 I delete, weight above 20 I hold. 10 I just put a header on. The held messages I process with spam review (a great program) those that are abvious junk mail that sends a lot of junk I have filters that "deletes" the messages basically moves them from Decludes hold folder to a spam review hold folder. Every couple of weeks I purge out messages in the spam review hold folder that are older then 2 weeks. So IF a customer is missing a piece of mail they have 2 weeks to get hold of me. However messages that obviously are not "junk" but ended up in the hold queue for one or another reason I use spam review to return into the queue to get delivered if I see a large amount of held messages from one person I usually create a rule to automatically return this persons messages back into the queue and for the majority of the time I run spam review in Out of office mode during which time it will process my filters automatically. Messages that don't match my filters will sit there for me when I have time (usually spend a little time in the morning processing last 12-24 hours messages).
No complaints from any of our customers so far. Well besides the common complaint that they get a lot of junk mail. Delog show that I block 50-60% of incoming messages and yet they complain :( - Eje Monday, May 20, 2002, 12:59:42 PM, you wrote: GW> I don't like the idea of bouncing or deleting any messages.
