It's my inderstanding that you should use scores, not actions, to
control behaviour and that the use of 'prefilter' without a full
understanding of the way rspamd configuration works is a bad idea.
I guess if you have to ask the question then it must be a bad idea.

I'm only parroting this advice:

and I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
