	If you are looking at the content, there is no other way you can 
do that.  However, my view is that this decision needs to be made 
while the sender is still connected, so that you can decide what kind 
of SMTP Reply code to generate.

	If you look at the message and decide what to do with it 
after-the-fact, then you've already lost.  If nothing else, you open 
yourself to being used to DoS someone in a joe-job.

	Lots of things work acceptable well in small-scale use, but fail 
completely when you try to scale them up.
