  | That's true -- a very big plus for most people.

  | Hmm -- Rick -- can SA-exim divert possible spam to a side mbox?

 similar question:  is is possible to falsely reject the incoming
 (junk-)mail?  that is, the receiving MTA sends back some sort of
 rejection --- which presumably causes the sending MTA to never
 again try to deliver that particular e-mail --- whilst really
 saving the (suspected junk-)mail in a side mbox?

 just curious.....
not an MTA/RFC expert,
