Re: [sieve] On "reject" and :fcc

Then keep a record of the rejection for the user, as opposed to keeping a 
copy
of the message that was rejected. Indeed, if you're going to keep track
of all rejections you have to allow for this in order to deal with
rejections that occur before the message transferred.

OK, I see where the misunderstanding has come from. What I'm proposing is
keeping a copy of the rejection. Basically the user wants a copy of every 
email
sent on their behalf.

When a Sieve ereject/reject occurs prior to delivery, and circumstances require
the use of a message as opposed to an SMTP status code, use of a DSN is
required. RFC 5429, section 2.1.2:

   In this case, the server MUST accept the message and generate DSNs for
   all recipients that are refusing it. 

And DSNs are effectively required to contain at least a portion of
the rejected message. (There's an exception for DSNs generated by
gateways to foreign mail systems, but it clearly doesn't apply here.)

Like it or not, these DSNs are "messages sent on [the users] behalf", and
they absolutely do contain part or all of the rejected message.

So as discovered above, we're talking past each other. I just want to keep a
copy of the rejection that was sent out by sieve on the user's behalf.

And such messages can and often do contain part or all of the original
message, creating exactly the issue I've been talking about.
