Where's the blackhole option for spam in V7

FrancWest
Hi,

where has the blackhole option moved to for spam in ASL7. As far as I can see only Warn and Quarantine are available. This will cause a major increase of message in the quarantine and nearly impossible to manage quarantine. with ASL6 we already had many false positives, but since mails with a high SCL were blackholed, this was managable. However, now that the blackhole option for spam looks gone in ASL7 this will increase quarantined messages a lot.

Franc.

    Cause the antivirusengine and the spamassassin is no longer runing within the smtp-live-session, the email is accepted, and scanned afterwards, no blackhole possible I think.

    Try to use greylisting, ther will be nearly no Spam anymore.

    Greylisting isn't stopping thousands of spams with .pdf attachments pumping junk stocks, each one from a different return address, IP, and server.  Did Astaro also take away the ability to manually mass delete all emails from the quarantine with scores over a certain number?  Both v.5 and v.6 had that option.  I don't understand why there are so many backwards steps with v.7.  Did the lead programmer retire and some new inexperienced kid take over?
