I've been testing with a host with invalid reverse and another with valid
reverse the entire time.  When return('REJECT') with any $msg is called,
the SMTP connection (telnetting into port 25 and issuing commands
manually) returns "550 5.0.0 Command Rejected" only after issuing the MAIL
FROM: command, rather than upon the connection itself.  I must be missing
something.
