You are correct, the general consensus is that it almost never makes
sense to bounce either spam or viruses from amavisd in post-queue mode.
The capability is there, but it is wiser not to use it.
In milter or pre-queue mode, D_REJECT (so as to never accept the
mail) is worth using, but as the majority of amavisd configurations
are operated in post-queue, the real alternatives are: D_PASS
and D_DISCARD, possibly used in conjunction with quarantine.
