Couldn't find a thread like this hence this new one. Just wondering what strategy people are using when it comes to dealing with email that gets enough points to be considered as spam. Eg. being deleted and quarantined, or delivered and quarantined etc.

I'm using store and deliver - is that the general concept out there with everyone?

At work we reject any mail tagged as spam (5 points +) during the SMTP session. This has the benefit of sending notification to the true sender rather than having my server try to delivery a NDR after the fact. I haven't had a report of a false positive from any of my users in the last year. Still get some false negatives (mostly 419'er stuff), but overall my users are happy. This set up obviously won't work for all organizations, but as a school we find our user base and email content to be rather homogenous.

At home, since I'm using fetchmail, I sort all mail tagged as spam into a subfolder of each users Maildir.
