 Please  dont do this. You MUST reject mails (by spam scanners, malware
 scanners or blacklists) on the SMTP level, otherwise you become a pretty big
 annoyance to the internet (if you bounce) or will siletnly lose mails (if
 you drop them).

Well, yes, choosing one of the broken options is broken.  Just giving
a message 5 spamassassin points for tripping a blacklist seems pretty
reasonable, though.
