the ones you should be checking for are all 5.x.x codes. the most common failure codes are: 5.1.1 - unknown address 5.2.2 - mailbox full basically, you need to check if status code starts with 5. (failed) and then if it is 5.2.2 (failed because mailbox is full). if it is 5.2.2 then do not remove the recipient form your db just yet, otherwise you can probably safely remove the address.
