And just to stave off the potential "don't bounce spam!" arguments, in MIMEDefang-speak, "bounce" means "reject during the SMTP transaction," not "accept, then generate a bounce notice and send it to the supposed sender."

thanks Kelson, for the clarification. I should have said: ....i reject spam......
