Bounce or DROP action recommended for "Positively-Identified Spam" ?

What is the recommendation Action for "Positively-Identified Spam" between Bounce and Drop ? Thanks.

Hi Vinay,

With setting the action as drop, there would be no information or notification sent to the sender unless a filter is created, the email would be dropped and we will not be able to retrieve the same.
However with bounce action, required sender or alternate email address could be notified.
As per best practices the recommended action for the emails identified as positive spam or "Positively-Identified Spam" would be to quarantine. The reason being, in cases of any false positives you would have an option to review the samples.

Typically the recommendation is to quarantine... for all that the filters are good, they still get it wrong sometimes. So a quarantine, where you can track down email that didn't get delivered is often the safest option.
