the messages was rejected.
A 4xx status will not do this. It should just cause the sending MTA to
keep the message queued and keep retrying. Depending on the sending
MTA's retry and notification policies, the sender may see no error or
delay notification for several days.
If you really want the sender to immediately see a rejection, you have
to use a 5xx status.
Yes, you are right. The error code is the smallest difficulty :)
