When a Sieve ereject/reject occurs prior to delivery, and circumstances require
the use of a message as opposed to an SMTP status code, use of a DSN is
required. RFC 5429, section 2.1.2:

   In this case, the server MUST accept the message and generate DSNs for
   all recipients that are refusing it. 

And DSNs are effectively required to contain at least a portion of
the rejected message. (There's an exception for DSNs generated by
gateways to foreign mail systems, but it clearly doesn't apply here.)

Like it or not, these DSNs are "messages sent on [the users] behalf", and
they absolutely do contain part or all of the rejected message.

And such messages can and often do contain part or all of the original
message, creating exactly the issue I've been talking about.
