There is no problem when you reject or accept a forged message - as you
say, it is your business. I don't even mind much when you send me a DSN
for a forged message, because my system automatically throws unsigned DSNs
away. However, I resent it when you send me an RFC ignorant auto-response that
is not a DSN, "Barracuda firewall has blocked a message from you because
it was actually sent by a virus, and we want you to know now clever we are."

It is worse than spam.
