Yes, forwarding spam to us is generally a really poor idea, especially over ipv6 [image: ].
The 18 is more of a source code, ie the source of the rejection, not really a specific error code. They're not generally useful to end users. We've discussed before that one thing that may work best is to forward the non-spam, and have the user use pop3 to fetch the spam. GSuite users can also denote a host as an inbound gateway to get around this problem, but I was never able to get the resources to have gmail users have the same ability. It's possible this is something we could use arc for.
