Generally speaking I prefer to REJECT mail using SMTP at the server,
rather than wait until the delivery stage when the server has ACCEPTed
it, because the ACCEPT gives the impression that the spammed recipient
address is valid.  Of course this assumes that the recipient address
is not one of my (thousands of) spam traps - in which case normally I
would TEMPFAIL it indefinitely instead. }:-)
