Right now I am returning a 550 with some text describing what the mail
server is doing for both cases, but wondered if any of the following
were possible:

For case #1 A return code that would cause a MUA NOT to attempt to
re-send the message again. Outlook, for instance tries to send the
message tons of times right in a row and thus causes about 10 of the
exact same virus notifications to go out for the one mail.

That's what a 5xx is supposed to do. If Outlook is not doing that, it's a bug in Outlook.


For case #2:  A return code that would indicate to the MUA that the
message has been accepted with an error, but cause courier NOT to
continue delivery of the message

There is no such thing in ESMTP.
