... if you would be kind enough to AT LEAST strip the comment-lines (we
all have a set), perhaps folks could find the time to scroll through the
actual settings in-use.

Posting the known-problematic areas ONLY, with the comment that all else
is 'vanilla' might be better yet.

MEANWHILE .. 'blackholing' is more often than not a Very Bad Idea [1].

Far better to reject in-session what you cannot or will not deliver.

ELSE at least divert to a bespoke portion of mailstore to preserve for
analysis - hopefully to develop better in-session rulesets.

[1] If nothing else, open-relay tests look for the relayed message to
arrive. 'bots, however, have no such luxury, must simply 'assume'.

Accepting, then blackholing their submissions CAN lead to their telling
their botmaster or siblings that they have found a free meal at your
address. What can happen next resembles a Piranha feeding frenzy, and is
no more pleasant for the victim.
