Milter can drop/break *TCP* connections with 421 reply. Be warned that
"unwisely used" it can be a nasty trap in case of false positives making
(misclassified) ham sender repeat sending the message for (5) days.

LIBMILTER: If a milter sets the reply code to "421", the SMTP server
will terminate the SMTP session with that error.
