The intention is to get the policy from the list. The simplest way to do it 
would be to treat "reject" as an SMTP time reject, rather than a bounce. At 
my site, at least, I would not offer "bounce" as a choice if smtp rejection 
is available.

Indeed, we currently recommend that list owners don't use "reject".
