why in the world would a reject *before queue* trigger a backscatter or bounce on my side?
To me, your recommend action makes you only worried about your tiny star in the universe of mail servers and ignores the community responsibility you have as an IT administrator. *Your* actions are contributing to backscatter and you have a *choice* to handle it differently *without malicious intent* to make the computing world a better place. I don't care if your server does or doesn't end up actually sending the DSN.
For example, in the scenario where server A sends a virus to your server B, my opinion is that I have a duty to act to protect the public at large and go "this is a virus, send a dsn 200 and silently discard".
In any case, it does not appear you are going to change my opinion so stop beating a dead horse, agree to disagree and let's move on.
