No, bouncing mail when it can't be properly delivered is much better than
violating RFCs.
Mail that is bounced with a human readable message describing the real cause
of the problem can then be re-sent once the problem is fixed.
Having mail be silently corrupted is not acceptable.
I've spent a lot of time debugging email problems over the years...
