Hi, you are allowed to drop whatever you want if its your maildomain
and/or mailserver, but you arent allowed to silent drop mail
without permissions if you have contracted maildomains for customers
you can always refuse spam on smtp level i.e with milter
( sending smtp rejects like i. our spamfilter has found your mail spam
etc, but be aware producing backscatter in your setup, if you use after
queue filters )
cause this isnt a silent drop, however even if you have permission from
the maildomain owner and the mailboxusers, dropping and rejecting
spam mail will increase your support level until you want have
possibilities to do spamconfig by the mailboxusers, so think of this.
You can silent drop virus mails, and maybe definitinion boarders
from spam to virus arent clear in any case these days i.e pishing
