    Contrary to your vision of this option, it is not only elegant; it happens
    to be the *correct* thing to do.

    Dropping the message on the floor is arguably stretching the bounds of
    RFC2821. If a message is going to be dropped because of a policy (such as a
    worm/virus flag), you really should be rejecting after DATA with a RFC1893
    5.7.x extended result code.

    If you're still sending to a forged address, how is this not still UBE...?
