Let's reword/replace using the 'key' Kjetil suggested thus:

How's this replacement?

(The first sentence is unchanged.)

   The "refuse" action refuses delivery of a message by sending back

the 550 SMTP response code to an SMTP client. This extension can be 
supported only by a Sieve implementation capable of sending the 550 over 
an SMTP connection between Administrative Units.
