Let me ask this: if discard sends a DSN, how is it meaningfully
different from reject? Reject seems to present a strict superset of
discard functionality as you've described it (you get to tell the sender
where to go in addition to refusing the message).
I'd like discard so, say, I can ignore certain people. I don't want to
reject their mail, I just want to ignore it.
This is very well said and I agree with it completely. The functionality
difference seems both clear and useful to me. Discard shouldn't be
optional and it should silently throw away the message.
Cheers.
