    It is possible to reject during the connection during the DATA
    phase. Using exim and sa-exim glue, with spamassassin, this is what
    I do. The sender gets a 5xx rejection with the message: UCE not
    allowed. I have the score set ridiculously high so that only very
    egregious spam gets rejected this way, in order to avoid rejection of
    false positives. I also have an sa-exim based greylist running with
    spamassassin at connection time.
