Just asking here... I assume this rejection would only kickin for the
case where the packet was locally generated (as opposed to forwarded
from some other interface) and the application causing the packet to be
transmitted had explicitly bound to one of its interfaces' source IP
addresses. For forwarded traffic the source IP would have to be ignored
and likewise for locally generated traffic for which no specific source
IP address had been bound. Correct?
