I see your point. Your opinion, as you repeat.

No, your point is simply wrong when speaking about bounce mails. The
sense of a rejection of an incoming mail during the DATA period is to
not accept it first and then to bounce. Of course that leads to hitting
innocent people where spammers did fake the sender address.

Not correct what you say about MimeDefang. I think you didn't look too
deep into this application.
Well, your choice to use MailScanner. I don't want to make you switch.
Just wanted to argue against your comments and MimeDefang "bashing".
