Weeelll... to me, "bounce" connotes actually generating and sending
a non-delivery notification. I agree with the poster that "reject" is
better, but it's such low priority ATM that I don't care too much to
change it. :)
If you are talking about 'real' mail servers, a non-delivery
notification is always generated, so the only difference is whether it
is created on your server or the one trying to send to you. But most
of what we try to reject isn't real mail from real mail servers so in
practice there is a big difference.
