Quoted from my original message:

] (Yes, I know I could set /warn for those lists, and might do so in
] the meantime.. but what I want is to reject the message, but log the
] headers for inspection)

I want to be able to log the headers, and send a 5xx code after the
DATA is finished for the first occurance, and then reject recipients
for following occurances.
