5. SMTP client behavior

   If an SMTP client encounters a host in an MX record that issues a 521
   greeting message, it must do one of the following two options:

   a) Attempt to deliver it to a different MX host for that domain.
   b) Return the mail with an appropriate non-delivery report.

   If an SMTP client encounters a 521 reply code in any other part of
   the SMTP dialog, it MUST return the mail with an appropriate non-
   delivery report.
 
I read that last bit (in any other part) as "if you figure out it is spam
before you close the connection on the message you can probably bounce it
with a 521".  However I equate the 521 message with the word bounce - so I
may not be running with the pack.

After.  Messages  can't  be  bounced  before  they  are  received,  by
definition.
