Yes, the milter protocol supported by Sendmail and Postfix offers this option.

I'm puzzled.  Rejecting spam is very normal.  How is this used against you?

Yes and no.  I'm sure it's possible but I personally wouldn't want to do it.

Search for 'discard'.

If you accept but discard a message then the spammers (think that they)
know that they have a real email address - and will probably sell it, so
you will probably get even more spam.
