To rephrase your advice - "Don't bounce. Either bounce or accept and
discard".

"reject" and "bounce" are the same thing!

I'm sorry but "bounce" and "reject" are not the same thing.  One
implies sending a message back to the putative sender; one merely
implies telling the incoming SMTP relay that the message has not
been (or in some cases, will not be) accepted and makes dealing
with the message the problem of the incoming relay.

Except, to the best of my knowledge, "bounce" means that *I* send a DSN back to the original sender, and "reject" means that the relay is honour-bound to send a DSN back to the original sender.

The only practical difference is who sends the DSN. And as I said, in my case (because "download and drop" is not a practical option) there is no way I can suppress the sending of the DSN.

Cheers,
Wol

HEX wondered how much he should tell the Wizards. He felt it would not be a
good idea to burden them with too much input. Hex always thought of his reports
as Lies-to-People.
