RFC 2821

When the receiver-SMTP accepts a piece of mail (by sending a "250 OK"
message in response to DATA), it is accepting responsibility for
delivering or relaying the message. It must take this responsibility
seriously. It MUST NOT lose the message for frivolous reasons, such as
because the host later crashes or because of a predictable resource
shortage.

The REJECTED message is indeed considered useful for many things apart
from complying with standards.
