Your terminology is confusing. Normally, when one says that a message
has been "accepted" in an SMTP connection, one means that the server has
accepted responsibility for further delivery. It does this by sending a
250 reply to the terminating "." of the message. That clearly comes
after receiving the message, and since a message can be rejected due to
content (size, virus, spamassassin, ...), it can still reject the mail
after receiving it.
