[OT] Bounced rejection notices

Depends on your score thresholds.

I mark spam at 5.8, high scoring spam is 6.9 

Spam gets the striphtml, deliver action

High Scoring Spam is deleted.

It is a rare occasion that a legit email scores a 6.9 and I've had no
complaints from my users.

Hi,
Most, if not all, of the "UCE Rejected" notices that mailscanner sends out
in response to incoming spam mails are bounced, as undeliverable.

Is there an easy way around this, or is it generally safe to delete the spam
(or even high-scoring spam) instead of rejecting it ?

My only concern is that if I dont reject it to the sender, then ther is a
chance that a false-positive will fall into a blackhole.

My mail volume is quite small, so its more of an annoyance than a problem
really.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks,
Declan
