Good day Guys
Just want to check with the community.
My colleague has proposed that at smtp time, if a mail is deemed as spam, the
server issues a reject code, but then to too accept the mail and forward the
mail the user for incase its a false positive.
If the spammer retries the user will end up with multiple copies,
possibly dozens, hundreds or even thousands.
His logic is that, that the spammer does not build up a database.
I've heard that some spammers record which addresses work,
so there could be some advantage in rejecting the mail, but that is
heresay.
A beter place form such discussions might be the mailop list:
