In detail

Ships as out — outgoing only — where the documentation states all. The difference decides whether incoming mail also goes to the store, which matters for a node that receives: with out, received messages keep their bodies in the broker as before. out is the sensible default for a sending node, and it is also a reminder that the package was tuned by someone who thought about it, while the documentation describes something else.

What happens if you get it wrong

Set to all on a node that also receives mail, with a store of limited size.Incoming volume — including refused mail — consumes store capacity meant for outgoing bodies.inference · inference
