you ARE allowed if you are doing it right

right in this context means you have to run the filter
pre-queue and REJECT blocked messages, so the sending
server knows that you did NOT accept the message and
can send a bounce to his user

wrong in this context means you accept the message, filter
it after that and throw it away while the sender has a
confirmed delivery - this is a legal problem in the first
front and technically wrong because you risk to become
a backscatter by starting active bounes on your server
if you are not 100% sure how all the pieces work togehter
and how the whole system acts in each situation

bringing LMTP and Dovecot in the context of spam-filtering
is automatically doing it completly wrong
