I answered that didn't I?
"If you discard all the recipients either individually at RCPT TO:, or
all together at MAIL FROM: or DATA, then the delivery will not happen
and all you'll get it a log line. The sender does get the "550-Your
message .." and not a 220."
ie. They both win. Yes, you get a fake reject message, but no you don't
get a delivery if all recipients are discarded.
This took me 10 seconds to experimentally check and answer.
