Good day Guys

Just want to check with the community.

My colleague has proposed that at smtp time, if a mail is deemed as
spam, the server issues a reject code, but then to too accept the mail
and forward the mail the user for incase its a false positive.

His logic is that, that the spammer does not build up a database.

Currently what we do is, if the score is between 5 and 15, just accept
and move the spam to the users SPAM box. Above 15 we out right block.

I am on the fence on this one, hence the reason to pick the communities
brain.

If anyone can share any thoughts or concerns, please can you share.

Many thanks
Brent
