Human admin is not a good idea if you have 50000 users :-)
Quarantine's a possibility, but that's taking it out of "Mail" and adds
complexity.

That's just what we want to do, *but* although it's in the Wiki I don't
think it a good idea to *raise* the limit for the junk folder if you
*deliver* to it. It's somewhat ok if you move mail there and someone
picks it up (we do that with a different folder). But on delivery it
means at some point you can receive spam but no real messages. Not nice.

"ignore" may work if it does what I think (never even count bytes and
messages in this folder) but it is open to abuse ...
