   Same difference. If a message is rejected, the sending server would   
   traditionally bounce it.   
      
   Unless you're talking about the special case where the client is sending   
   a message to their own domain.  Then the submission server may be able   
   to reject the message immediately, and many do (e.g. if you're a Comcast   
   customer and send to nonexist_user@comcast.net you'll get a rejection   
   that says "Not our customer").
