Spam Destiny
This determines the fate of an e-mail detected as spam. The Bounce option will reject the mail from the mail server the e-mail came from with a response back to that server. Discard will just drop the message completely but acknowledge receiving the e-mail. Pass will send the message on to its recipient but it will be marked as spam.
Spam Quarantine
When a spam message is received this will determine if the message will be quarantined. If this is Enabled it will always be quarantined regardless of the Spam Destiny setting. For example, if the Spam Destiny is to pass on to the recipient, a copy will be quarantined as well.
Max. Quarantine Age
If Spam Quarantine is Enabled then this option will determine how many days the message will live in the quarantine. Once it is expired the message is removed from the system.
