Right - that's delivering it to a pipe or transport filter. Fine - if
you're happy to accept the spam in the first place.

OTOH, exiscan+SpamAssassin lets you reject during the dialog.

As has been refered to in another message, with DCC you are _supposed_ to
whitelist all your mailing lists. IF you do this, THEN it is safe to
blackhole stuff. However, as I understand it, many folk are too lazy to
do this, and cheat by calling DCC from SpamAssassin to award points
instead. With this approach you need some way to handle false positives,
which means either tagging, or, rejecting during the dialog.
