We'd have to reject after the DATA stage instead of the RCPT stage. This
has various drawbacks, including higher loads, and unability to use
per-recipient settings.

We already do that for the delayed_reject option, but I'm not sure it's
interesting to go further in that direction, especially since spams are
not especially big messages. 

Anyone has an opinion on this?
