Not quite. *_reject ties up more resouces on both the sender and
receiver, but the sender will try over and over again to send the message.
I have situation at a site, where SMTP connections were getting refused
from a variety sites several times a minute. Switching to
*_reject_reciepients fixed this.
Anything that takes up spammers resources, takes up your resources too.
