I have and it works great:

$final_virus_destiny      = D_DISCARD;
# $final_banned_destiny     = D_DISCARD;
# $final_spam_destiny       = D_PASS;  #!!!  D_DISCARD / D_REJECT
$final_spam_destiny       = D_DISCARD; 
# $final_bad_header_destiny = D_PASS;
# $bad_header_quarantine_method = undef;

Why would you use D_REJECT

This would just tell the spam sender they have a valid address.
