When table lookups fail, Postfix responds with a 4XX error.

not and should not be configurable.
"should not be configureable" ? nobody knows everything so nobody

Generally speaking, you might have an argument. In this case, however,
a failure to access a lookup table MUST result in a temporary error
because a failure MAY be transient (connection, latency, server
reboots, database crash, etc) without a human knowing. In fact, it is
certainly a transient error. permfailure in that case would be a BAD
THING. The only possible behavior in this case that can be considered
correct is a tempfail.
Besides, what if i want to change the text associated with the
return code? Like 450 Scheduled Maintance, please retry later... You
didnt even specify which code it is, so how do you change the text?
You can do that if you want, but this is not the way to do it.
