If I recall correctly, if a user's email address is the kind that may (or does) fail some antispam filters, it replaces it. Antispam dectection in the sense that when you post a message, your FROM address is looked at. Checks that the SMTP server it came through is an okay sender for your address (DNS records for your domain name authorise that SMTP server). And that *that* SMTP server isn't on known spammers list, etc. Funny thing is that I'm looking at this kind of thing right now, spam filtering, as my hosting provider turned it on without my permission and I wasn't getting some of my mail. If I have to log into their awful website all the time to check for detection failures, and for multiple addresses, it's *far* worse than me just hitting delete on spam as I come across it in my inbox. Really, spam filtering should be before acceptance at the SMTP server. Rejection before acceptance, not accept and delete before delivery. And not bounce back to some forged address in the header. Just a nup not taking it in. That way, someone trying to send genuine mail to you knows you never got it, and can do something about it. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
