Hi !

MTAs should try *real* hard to reject email during the SMTP session

can't always be done, but bounces sent to innocent third parties is a
problem.

If the spam was sent through a relay, a rejection will still cause a
bounce. Just not from you.

Yes. But if it is an open relay which is abused, it is misconfigured
anyway (IMHO, YMMV). So the double-bounces and the complaining people
are the relay admins problem, not mine. And they are not using my
resources.
And if the relay should work as relay, he can use SPF. Problem solved.

Or did I forget something?
