non-delivery messages  are new messages generated by the mailer daemon when 
it can't deliver an accepted msg.  The original message is lost, but it (or 
part of it) may be included in the mailer-daemon message.

But if postfix SMTPD rejects, the only notification that "goes back" is the 
4xx/5xx optional custom text.  That is not a new msg from postfix, it is just
a response code to the sending MTA.

That sending MTA should generate a mailer-daemon non-delivery msg, which 
should include the postfix 4xx/5xx text.  But that is still not a "message" 
from postfix.
