@tonioo basically the spam filtering doesn't seem to be working ... I would expect X-SPAM-STATUS filters to be placed in the headers of the incoming email and then those are used to mark spam and filter into the spam folder (instead of just instant reject) (and perhaps sent to quarentene which i didnt see happening either) ... also postscreen seems to be set a bit to high and almost no email can come in without a whitelist. (gmail example) ... I can be reached on gchat mzummo@gmail.com to discuss the issue further. I really like your application and this is the only thing stopping me from using it.

@tonioo commented on GitHub (Feb 28, 2017):

The X-SPAM header is not added to every message processed by the filter.
Only messages with a score greater than a first limit will be tagged and
messages with a score even greater will be rejected or quarantined
according to amavis configuration.

About postscreen, gmail and outlook indeed cause troubles these days and
get rejected by postscreen. postwhite looks like a good fix but I'd like
more feedback about its use.
