I thought I had. This is what worried me:
"action_bounce() may generate spurious bounce messages if the sender
address is faked"
What I'm mostly trying to avoid is lots of e-mail from postmasters coming
back to my server. As far as I can tell, if you reject while the
sendmail connection is still open, this should never happen. If that's
the case with "action_bounce", then that's all I need to know.
