This is not an answer, but I don't see an RBL hit as a '..error in processing' at either end. Result of an error in past behaviour, maybe, but.... FWIW, we are doing that with a code 550, "Administrative prohibition" - or less-polite words to that effect) And for a while, after an all-nighter on MLM integration coding left an octothorpe out of a key place in ~/configure, we were doing it to damn-near everyone... :-( Sorry 'bout that...
