So where does the SPAM go if the tick is not checked?
If it scores above your threshold in simscan, then it goes to /dev/null
I hate to nit pick, but to be more accurate I believe it's rejected as
spam. In any case, the recipient can never see it.
Who are you kidding about hating to nit pick?
Technically, the copy that was received is delivered to /dev/null and an
error message is sent to the originating server notifying them that the
message was denied as spam. The SMTP session remains open during the
simscan phase.
I'd really like to be clear on this, so I understand the inner workings.
My understanding is that yes, the SMTP session remains open during the
simscan phase. If the score is over the threshold in the simcontrol file
(spam_hits=n), then the message is flat out rejected, and the sending
server is notified as such before the smtp session terminates. The
message is never received (successfully), nor delivered to /dev/null.
The sending server subsequently bounces the message back to the sender.
Please correct me if I'm wrong on this.
