Except, to the best of my knowledge, "bounce" means that *I* send a DSN back to the original sender, and "reject" means that the relay is honour-bound to send a DSN back to the original sender.
The only practical difference is who sends the DSN. And as I said, in my case (because "download and drop" is not a practical option) there is no way I can suppress the sending of the DSN.
This is getting *very* off topic, but:
As David R. Linn said, bounce and reject are *not* the same. Rejecting means that the receiving SMTP-server refuses to accept the message at all (return a 550 response), meaning the sending SMTP-server can't deliver the message at all. Bouncing means that the receiving server *does* accept the message, but then sends a message back to the *email address* in the message envelope, which may have nothing to do with the actual sender.
In which case, I *A*M* rejecting, and yet I still get this message saying I've been suspended.
When I configure my reject rules, my mail "client" sends a 550 back to the relay. I presume that my ISP's mail server is doing the same. The problem is, if it's come from the sender's ISP's relay servers, I bet the effect is the same as what you call a bounce.
But - to put it simply - I *know* I'd doing what you call rejecting, I send a 550, and it still gets me dropped from the list.
Cheers,
Wol

HEX wondered how much he should tell the Wizards. He felt it would not be a
good idea to burden them with too much input. Hex always thought of his reports
as Lies-to-People.
