Description

I came here to learn when Post() will return true, and when it will false.

But now, I have more questions and still no answer:
- "This method will return once the target block has decided to accept or decline the item", yes, but HOW?
Does "accept" mean added to the target's queue?
- When a filter denies, will then false be returned?
- Within a custom block - can I deny the message during processing? How?
