btw. That is the best way to handle virus and spam mails! Reject in smtp-dialoge with sending mailserver. That way the sending mailserver will create the bound back to the original sender (if there is one) and not you, you won't have any problems with getting blacklisted and you don't have to handle the junk mails. We are doing antispam / antivirus this way for about 10000 mailboxes for about 1 1/2 years now and it's working perfectly. no customer complains so far. accepting and then bouncing mails is by far the worst way to handle spam oder virus and putting them into a junk folder is the most work intensive way and produces the highest false positive rate for the user.
