Maybe in your particular situation, but you can hardly apply that to
everyone - since we are supporting several large companies that find it
more acceptable to quarantine mail than to reject it, and *have* trained
their employees to look in a spam folder in the rare case that it is needed.

If postfix and amavisd-new have improvements lately that allow for
efficient rejecting at SMTP time, that's great!  ... for those who find
that to be the policy they want to take.   I think the policy should be
up to the individual organization.   Hmm... "policy".  Sounds a lot like
a feature of postfix, doesn't it?
