That is what people were really complaining about regarding Hotmail. Those
554 messages are permanent errors, according to the standard. Hotmail
appears to be using them as temporary, which requires the original sender to
re-try the message. It would be an RFC violation for James to retry the
message after receiving a 5xx response.

James considers a UHE to be temporary, and retries it.

You can also add <debug>true</debug> for the RemoteDelivery mailet.
