Reject = MTA issues a 55x SMTP response.  Causes well behaved
clients/servers to issue a NDA to the return path.

Bounce = MTA accepts the message, but could not complete the delivery,
so it bounces the message back to the return path.  Normally this is due
to non-existent users, or exceeding queue lifetime due to remote server
being down, but can be caused by many other things.
