RFCs tend to avoid strong statements about matters that are strictly between system operators and their users. Delivery to a Spam folder IS delivery. So is delivery to quarantine with a notification sent to the recipient. Basic robustness demands that after a 250-at-EoD, the receiving system should not simply drop a message but either deliver it or bounce it. Failures should not be silent. Delivery to somewhere other than the INBOX is not a silent failure. -- Bill Cole [email protected] or [email protected] (AKA @grumpybozo and many *@billmail.scconsult.com addresses) Not Currently Available For Hire _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list [email protected] https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
