It's not me who argued that rejection is better. Rejection is equally bad from my point of view, maybe even worse. I already described what I think is best. Only *mark* messages as spam and let the users decide if they want *themselves* filter the marked messages into the spam folder. Don't *preconfigure* such filtering for them. If someone creates a mail account, he/she won't be receiving spam right away. At some point in time after setting up the account he/she will start to receive spam, and one can expect that the amount of spam will gradually increase. Then at some moment the user may decide to filter out the spam into the spam folder. I think (I may be wrong, of course - but if that won't work then nothing will :() that there is bigger chance that the user will look into the spam folder in case when he/she configured filtering messages into that folder him/herself, than in the case when such filtering is preconfigured by the mail provider and the user may even not be aware at all (and usually isn't) of the purpose of the spam folder and why he/she should look into it. In the former case the filtering happens visibly to the user and the user is aware that it happens; in the latter, the filtering is "invisible" to the user and may be totally unaware about it. -- Regards, Jaroslaw Rafa r...@rafa.eu.org -- "In a million years, when kids go to school, they're gonna know: once there was a Hushpuppy, and she lived with her daddy in the Bathtub." _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
