I just now spent time doing a bunch of tests with `dccm -aIGNORE`,
and found no problem with the obvious test tactic of using `nc` to
"play computer" and send mail with high DCC counts to myself.
(`telnet` can also be used instead of `nc`)

user_reject_discard() should only be called for messages with more
than one target and that should be delivered to some targets some but
rejected or discarded for others.

So I tried some sending to 2 targets with differing whiteclnt preferences,
but -aIGNORE had the right result.
