At second, normal mail will be lost, because while checking quarantine and looking for false positives some normal mail will not be detected, because it's hard enough work and people do mistakes. And last, if I will check quarantine every few hours, I'll handle not so much spam messages and chances are I'll not delete normal mail by mistake. Yeah. But, in this case, what's the difference between using tools like SpamAssassin and not using these tools at all and still handling all these spam mail every few hours inside "inbox" instead of "quarantine"? -- WBR, Alex.
