What exactly are "exceptional events"? See below.
[snip]
Tough question. I see "exceptional event" as being unavoidable loss of data - i.e. disk crash or the like. I guess that silent spamfiltering is itself against the spirit of that, and I'm not about to argue that it shouldn't be done. However, as I see it there is a difference between individual users (or indeed administrators) choosing to delete mail silently and the working group issuing a recommendation that mail should be deleted silently; the problem of antivirus bounces can be solved without resorting to that.What exactly is a "delivery failure"? My spamfilter silently discards all sorts of messages, but for obvious reasons it's not going to tell the "higher level" about it, and by consequence no notification is sent. Should this be regarded an "exceptional event", even though it is often more the rule than the exception? Or should "delivery" to /dev/null be regarded as a successful delivery?
