I meant that the increasing unreliability of internet mail as a consequence of  
a reluctance to bounce accepted-but-undelivered mail unacceptable. 

I can understand why any _individual_ participant needs to do so of course,

accepting the mail - even if that means scanning the message data as it comes 
in and rejecting instead of OKing it.
