a SMTP reject code will cause the sending server to inform the sender of
the problem. In the case of a legitimate sender they will probably get
some form of bounce message. Spam-ware will see the code and move on.

Please do not top post your replies - it really breaks up the message
thread. Quote the relevant stuff and add reply text to that. If none
of the original is now relevant then don't ship the whole thing back
again.
