If you want that "feature", and are dropping the message anyway, why not just
drop it at the MTA. You will save yourself the load, and get the desired
result. You really should never bounce messages after you receive them. If
they are dropped during the connection phase, you get the rejection to the
proper server, but if you have received it, then all you have is the possibly
forged sender address to rely on.
