Here's my understanding: if you don't deliver mail to the recipient, then you should reject it during the SMTP transaction. In short, mail shouldn't disappear without the sender or the recipient knowledge and agreement. so a pre-queue should be "fully compliant". the facts that the bits are on your HD are no more relevant than they were in some fiber or router... now, what if spam is stored on an old and cheap HD? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ AMaViS-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/amavis-user AMaViS-FAQ:http://www.amavis.org/amavis-faq.php3 AMaViS-HowTos:http://www.amavis.org/howto/
