If you drop the connection as someone else suggested, any reasonable
mail transport will keep connecting back to try again for 2 to 5 days.
If you reject it you will set off the same problems as if you
bounced it yourself. Think about the situation where the next
hop has a different scanner than you and rejects mail you are
trying to send: now your box becomes the one with the bounce problem.
