Explanation:
laut Collins German Dictionary heiß es
verwerfen a) (ablehnen) to reject; (eigene Meinung) to discard; (Klage) to dismiss; (Urteil) to squash; kritisieren (to condemn)

Rückwärts:

to discard 1 a) (unwanted article, person) ausrangieren; (idea) verwerfen; (coat) ausziehen, (leaves) abwerfen

to reject 1 a) (damaged goods) ablehnen, zurückweisen; (maker) aussortieren, ausscheiden; b) (request) ablehnen, abweisen; (candidate) durchfallen lassen; (advances) abweisen, zurückweisen; (offer) ausschlagen, abschlagen; (possibility) verwerfen

Deshalb denke ich daß man Nachrichten nur "rejecten" kann, nicht aber "discarden", was eigentlich vom Kartenspielen kommt und das Ablegen von Karten bedeutet. Und abgelegt wird es ja nicht.

neutral  Klaus Herrmann: Am Beispiel von Email: wenn eine Meldung "rejected" wird, wird sie erst gar nicht vom Server abgeholt, wenn sie "discarded" wird, wird sie zwar abgeholt, aber sofort gelöscht.

neutral  Chris Rowson (X): Translation by dictionary is not a lot better than machine translation. Rejected doesn´t fit here.
