No. The Heise article (if my memory serves) considers the delivery process to have begun as soon as the SMTP connection is established. Furthermore, a 5xx-Reject and 2xx-Discard after DATA happen at *EXACTLY* the same time, so you cannot say the delivery process "hasn't even begun" for the 5xx but has for the 2xx. The timing is identical. Regards, David.
