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.
