SPAM_DELAY

This configuration variable defines the serverwide delay period for the spam quarantine feature.

This variable sets the serverwide delay period (in minutes) during which LISTSERV holds certain suspicious messages before processing them. This gives the LISTSERV anti-spamming algorithms time in which to gather the necessary evidence to determine whether or not the message may be a spam. The value can be overridden on a list-by-list basis with the list header keyword setting "Loopcheck= Spam-Delay(xxx)" (the value is in minutes). SPAM_DELAY=0 disables this spam quarantine feature for all lists on the server.

The default is 10 minutes.
