Doesn't this make it a vehicle for joe-jobs? Most service providers are
moving away from out-of-band DSNs for their expense and potential for
abuse. Or am I misunderstanding what you are saying?
No, when you reject at SMTP time, your server does not generate a bounce
message. All it does is issue a reject code and 1-line comment to the
connecting system, whether it's a mail client or another server.
If you end up with a DSN, it's generated somewhere further back in the chain.
