Important semantics: bounce from the MTA point of view. Loss from the
subscribers point of view.

Point: This is a temporary error and should not result in a bounce. No
big deal, but easy to fix.

IMHO, since qmail does not have complete control over possible error
codes, it seems more reasonable to make the default a temporary error
and select specific error codes that lead to permanent errors.
