As I recall, the rules allow for filtering of the message for reaction.
Once can then forward or remain idle. But not to completely ignore as if
the message was never there. So it boils down to who ever you are
monitoring as to what they choose to send as to what ends up in your
received box.
This is how I recall the system was intended as an ongoing confidence test
beyond the regular test messages and is the reason the FCC allows the use
of real messages for weekly tests in place of the RWT.
In the world of CAP, I can see how one big pipeline with no discretion to
location can clutter things since CAP is a much larger buss. It is there
where the regionalizing filters need to be placed. But how does one go
about creating such filter?
