Hi all,
I was wondering if this has been considered or done before: an SMTP server configured to receive email data, perform the required checks on it, and NOT send an OK reply to the DATA command if the email is to be rejected.
This is exactly what action_bounce() does.
So this behaviour would be somewhat against RFC guidelines, but I'd like you to consider what I think are major benefits to this kind of "preemptive rejection".
No. RFC says that you should either accept or reject. It only says you can't partially reject (which is impossible to do on SMTP level anyhow). When you reject, you can reject temporary (telling other side you currently have some problems, so it should retry) or permanently (telling other side it isn't going to happen).
