Rejected email redirect

[Sampson, Aaron]

So Ken are you saying that if I turn off the option in PF that SA is already running the same check by default? If so will we run into the same issue that we have been facing that e-mails that are being sent to us whose name will not resolve will still be rejected, unless I change the config?  Also I already have where (spam?) that does not fall into the high scoring spam score will go to quarantine folders but in the current state rejected emails are being denied in the MTA so never have an option to be processed further.  Which is the reason for looking at the change to allow the e-mails to make it further into the system before being rejected and/or stored.

SA already has a lot of HELO rules, due to all the spam from bots, and the lack of decent HELO checks in MTAs by default.

Use score actions in MailScanner.conf to put spam in quarantine or tag/deliver or whatever. Quarantine here is MTA quarantine, not an IMAP folder named "quarantine".

If you want them in specific IMAP folders, you'll need to use your LDA + sieve, procmail, or similar to match something in the headers - like the X-MailScanner-SpamCheck header with "HELO_"
