Ok, 'refuse' is probably ready for test implementation, IMO. 
Thanks to everyone for the feedback.
I would very much like to hear from folks who implement 'refuse'.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.

	Title		: The SIEVE mail filtering language - refuse extension

With 'refuse', Sieve gains the ability to simply not accept an
   email during the SMTP transaction (instead of accepting it and then
   sending an MDN [MDN] back to the alleged sender using 'reject').
   A Joe-job is a spam run forged to appear as though it came from an
   innocent party, who is then generally flooded by the bounces, MDNs
   and messages with complaints.  With 'reject', MDNs [MDN] contribute
   to the flood of Joe-job spam to victims of Joe-jobs; SMTP level
   refusals usually don't.  So 'refuse' provides users the latter
   method to handle unwanted email.

If there are no further changes suggested here, we'll let it pickle for a bit 
and then pursue further IESG designation (last call for RFC designation?).

(BTW, shouldn't Sieve itself be moving to "Proposed Standard" status?)
