Right, but rejecting a mail (i.e. with sending an auto-generated
response as to why it happened) IMO isn't the same as "filtering", which
- for me - implies it's done silenty, without telling the sender her
mail didn't get through.

Of course, that's possible, but I can't understand why one should
always practice such politics, i.e. never try to prevent things, but
only fix them for yourself. The latter, for example, doesn't change the
unnecessarily large size of the HTML message part.
