Right now we REJECT so that the sending system is AWARE of the problem and
can correct it. I guess I could add a rule that DROPS internet and REJECTS
local users, so that our users will know if they are infected and are 
blocked.

Reject does waste a bit a bandwidth with all the retries. But it seems good 
to
inform the sender that their email was ignored right on the SMTP (as opposed 
to
an autoreply which could be a fake address).
