In practical terms, the right thing for a MUA to do when it gets a 5xy reply code at the end-of-data point that it does not recognize is to treat it as it would the generic 550 failure reply at that point or any other 5xy reply: return the message to an unqueued draft state and alert the user to its failure, providing the full unmodified server reply.
This is actually what happens in MailMate. The message is reopened in the composer and a sheet shows the SMTP error reported (verbatim). (It doesn't even block MailMate as many of the IMAP errors unfortunately still do.)
(But I know there are many other cases MailMate does not handle gracefully.)
You wouldn't happen to know why Yahoo rejects a message with a single URL? Is this some kind of spam-detection and if it is, why do they suggest adding text to the message (hmm, maybe this is a message intended for their web interface)?
