Everyone here runs spam filters. Many times a day you tell a remote MTA you've accepted their email but you delete it instead. Explain the difference?
Hold on there. What you are describing is evil and bad, and I certainly hope "everyone" does not do that. When I do not wish to accept a message, I do not accept it, rejecting with an SMTP permanent delivery failure. Don't mean to go off on a tangent, but accepting and then silently discarding mail is a terrible idea. matto --matt@snark.net------------------------------------------<darwin>< Moral indignation is a technique to endow the idiot with dignity. - Marshall McLuhan
