Currently it sends a reject message in any case. I guess it could be
changed to (optionally?) return the error message to caller instead. But
I'm not exactly sure how that works.

In any case that requires calling the LDA immediately after the mail is
received. I thought people didn't like to do that because if there are
slow spam checks and such the incoming SMTP connection pool could
quickly fill up and new SMTP connections would get rejected.
