WHen you talk about 8/10 and bitbucket/delete, are you accepting this email at the MTA level and then sending it to /dev/null? If so, I wonder what your thoughts are on the wisdom of that vs rejecting at the MTA level? In my view MTA, rejection is much better because if there is a legit sender they get a 550 back, rather than silent discard.
