If a mail is fake, I have to REJECT it, and NOT (NEVER, UNDER ANY

I believe most spam is sent through open relays, with bogus sender
information. REJECTing spam just makes the relay generate a bounce,
which is often to a valid address. Thus I've taken to just dropping
spam. It's not a solution I'm happy with, but I think it's better than
the alternatives.
