No, since if it accepted it first and chose to to *reject* it later it
would be impossible to notify the sender of the message, since
prvs=rodrigo=594bf1d30@nul-unu.com is undeliverable. By not acepting
it in the first place, we can pass on this bucket to a system that
should be able to so.
You might ponder kicking your ISP for rewriting your sender from to an
invalid address.
