Re: Returning Details about Spam Evaluation when Rejecting Spam

[Nate Leon <n8leon@xxxxxxxxx>]

I agree with Hector - the less detail the better when communicating
back to spammers.

How about:
   250 Requested mail action OK

and log the details as Hector suggested.

If you are required to notify the sender of the failure due to
corporate guidelines,
make the msg even more generic:
  550  Your mail was rejected due to local policy
