    @revk @neil

    This is but one reason, why I have my MXs configured in a way, that filtering unwanted mail happens as part of the delivery process, so that in the case it's identified as unwanted, the delivery process itself will abort with a rejecting error.

    It also allows me to tell-off people who suggest "I should look into my spam folder…"

    Sorry mate… doesn't work like that with my mail server.

    @datenwolf @neil That creates an interesting point.

    I agree, best place for it.

    But it means you have a case of "sender attempted to delivery and you refused delivery", which I imagine in some legal senses means sender did what was required and it was your choice to refuse.

    Where as a spam folder is "sender actually did deliver", which I would assume has even more legal leverage, as sender would not know delivery was ignored.
