Hold on there. What you are describing is evil and bad, and I
certainly hope "everyone" does not do that.
When I do not wish to accept a message, I do not accept it,
rejecting with an SMTP permanent delivery failure.
Don't mean to go off on a tangent, but accepting and then silently
discarding mail is a terrible idea.
