ok, so the fake is not about the reject being fake (in terms of not
happening), but the fake refers to the message not being only rejected
and gone ;)
I guess somewhat i had from the term expected the first to happen, but
it's clear now.. thanks!

Alright, i finally found the path you show me.. At least i have now
finally been able to reproduce your proposal. Will try that and come
back if there's something still fishy with it.. (Which i hope will not
be the case *g*)

Thanks again for the hint and patience ;)
