Man, I'm not having a good month. Never did get around to implementing
databytes, as it was my understanding that its utility was limited --
the manpage never explicitly states whether the mail is actually queued
or not, and I (apparently) misread it. qmail-send never sees the mail,
and it is rejected at the SMTP level, not bounced. This appears to work
regardless of destination -- all SMTP injected mail must fit inside
databytes.
To the OP, it looks like databytes will do what you want, if the sender
is injecting via SMTP, rather than locally.
