I would prefer to be able to say "do an SMTP-level reject if you
can with _this_ text, else send an MDN with _this_ text".

I think "reject" should be deprecated.  it is never appropriate to send
an MDN.  the tests available in Sieve today are not sufficient to have
any chance of avoiding being an accomplice in a joe-job attack.

I certainly agree that using reject to block spam or virii is inappropriate.
But this assumes that this is the only think you'd use it for. There are
other uses - not all email is spam. At least not yet...

I guess I'm slightly in favor of a new command, but only slightly.
