A queue-handler could have a set of criteria that, when satisfied, would result in an immediate drop or accept.

There's no difference between returning NF_ACCEPT or a new NF_CONTINUE. Queueing happens outside of the ruleset context, so in either case the packet would continue through the network stack directly, not after the NFQUEUE rule. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
