Hello,
May I hear other opinions, if what I write is off-topic or not?
I replied in one email to the notes, I wanted to reply. Not all
original citations came from David.

a few less messages at the bottom of my spam bucket.

the "near ban" on NDNs
This can be avoided by running the spam filter before ACCEPT after
CRLF.CRLF and SMTP reject the unwanted messages.

score. The recipient decides whether to a maintain a separate folder
with high spam scores (a quarantine), where to set the spam/ham
threshold, and how much time to spend reviewing messages with a high
spam score.
If the recipients decides to maintain a separate folder with high spam
score, this might lead to false positives -- too late read mails, or
even overseen messages. Of course, every such delayed reading is caused
by the users, not by the administrators, but the users might prefer SMTP
rejections instead of checking the spam folders.

Dilyan,
Looks like there is quite a bit of miscommunication here, even some
responses to stuff I didn't write. Let's continue this discussion in a
forum where we won't be adding off-topic chatter. I've copied your last
post to the following forum, and replied to it there.

By the way, in the Russian newspapers you can read job offers for
marketing agents. Their job is to send mails using free mail providers
to a provided long lists of recipients by copy&paste the list of
addresses [= to send spam]. Thus, if the message comes from an A-rated
domain, it does not mean the message is ham.
I no longer argue whether it is possible for free mail providers to
block outgoing spam, I just take advantage of the fact that most of them
do. None of our A-rated domains send spam. Zero.
