it is true and besides the german legal letter below you violate a second law at the same time - that is why you have to run a spamfilter *before queue* and sa-milter exists - in case you reject a message the sending server is responsible for a bounce in case you accept and silently drop it you have a unacceptable configuration - independent of laws - in case of a important and time critical mail i need to know it was rejected and so can call the person by phone or try to remove something which triggered a false positive ____________________________________________________ there are two important rules for mail: a) if you accept it you have to deliver it b) if you can't deliver it you must not accept it if you follow b) you don't become a backscatter http://www.postfix.org/MILTER_README.html ____________________________________________________ § 303a StGB - Datenveränderung (1) Wer rechtswidrig Daten (§ 202a Abs. 2) löscht, unterdrückt, unbrauchbar macht oder verändert, wird mit Freiheitsstrafe bis zu zwei Jahren oder mit Geldstrafe bestraft
