I don't like the idea of bouncing or deleting any messages.  I don't want to take that responsibility, and potentially zap a message that a user wants.  I've set up a local blacklist (based on the spams I've received that didn't fail any tests), a local whitelist, and I've adjusted the individual pre-defined test weights a little, and am testing a configuration that ATTACHes spam that hits a weight of 10, 14, or 20.  I've had a few non-spams get a weight of 10, but 14 and 20 are pretty on-target thus far.  If the users want to set up filters to delete messages, that's *their* choice.
 
My problem at the moment is figuring out how to explain to a rather unsophisticated user base how to set up their own client or WebMail filters to make use of the whole thing, if they do want to delete anything or move tagged messages to their own holding folder for later review.

Yah, I got that part.  I created an acct called ''spammaster'' and am
sending bounce msgs from it.

Using filters is a good idea.  Nice and transparent.  Anybody have ideas
on how to handle the myriad of incoming msgs without a corresponding
number of filters?  I've never really used them.

Don't bounce from your postmaster acct. That is just bad. Rather create
filters so that you delete the return bounce messages. Just my $0.02
