Pray tell, are you aware this tells the MTA who are processing the
payload at the SMTP DATA state (not POST SMTP), to issue a 250 positive
message accept response code with the true purpose of silently
discarding it?
So its more of a
PUBLIC REJECT notification
PRIVATE DISCARDING OF MAIL (no notification)
operational behavior?
Of course, this would also conflict the current direction of MTA of
doing more dynamic SMTP level analysis of mail by mandating a DKIM/ASP
design of delaying the payload analysis to POST SMTP.
