No it doesn't. Not if you reject during SMTP. Collateral spam is 
generated when you accept a message and then generate a bounce.

What the original author of this thread is looking for here is 
fakereject. If you do this:

"accept control = fakereject"

Then the message will look to the sender as though it has been accepted, 
but instead of hitting the routers it will just disappear into a blackhole.

I don't get why you want to "/dev/null" the message though...? If you 
don't like the way the 550 error message looks just change it, eg:

deny malware = *
      message = Malware attached

Would return "550 Malware attached"
