See Section 10.3
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7489#section-10.3
<https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7489#section-10.3>> for some
discussion of SMTP rejection methods and their implications.
The problem is that /quarantine/ and /reject/ are imperative verbs.
The specification can use any definition, but if it uses imperative
words, they are going to be taken as imperative.
Maybe /discardable/ should be used instead.
If it's not clear that it's "this is what I'd do" rather than some
requirements language imperative then maybe that could be made more clear.
Why do I have a feeling of deja vu?
No comment.
