And even that isn't enough on occasion since it accepts the article before
blackholing it. Wait until you get 10+ messages per second being returned
from AOL's dozens of mail servers addressed to a domain you host because
that domain was forged in a massive spam to AOL. We call it "smurf
spamming".
Here's a suggestion for the new wishlist. Add an equivalent to :fail: and
:defer: that works at the SMTP session level. In other words, return a
failure/defer code after RCPT TO: so that we don't have to accept the
whole message before trashing it/bouncing it with :fail:
