Our commercial CanIt-PRO product uses a third solution: 3) If all recipients have the same settings and rules, reject the spam in filter_end. Otherwise, remail copies. If an e-mail originating from 127.0.0.1 is rejected as spam, we call action_discard instead of action_bounce. Three years ago, I would have said this was a bad solution because it silently discarded e-mail. Today, unfortunately, I am of the opinion that it's the only viable way.
