No, it is just totally wrong that an action other than 'discard' will
result in mail silently vanishing.  Maybe this is what does happen, but
it is not what _should_ happen as was asked.  It _should_ either go to
inbox (grounds: ignore a bad rule) or back to sender (grounds: not
deliverable as configured).
