so if it's not 5xx it's not a bad email? i see dsn=4.0.0. that's not enough?

In SMTP 4.y.z DSNs are "temporary" errors. They could be caused by a spam filter over loaded, or the system shutting down, or...

i'm assuming it's retried by the mta. the settings in mailman clearly state that it should be discarded right away...

The 4.y.z should be seen as an invitation for the SMTP server to try sending the message again at a later time.

The MTA will eventually time out the message and generate a permanent error.
