Tough luck. If the recieving MTA issues a 5xx then you bounce the message back to the sender and it's the sender's job to decide whether to resend or not and _not_ some intermediate MTA that thinks it knows the destination site better than the administrators do. It's akin to me sending a double glazing salesman round to your house under the instructions that, if you refuse to purchase double glazing now, then he should assume that you _might_ do so in a couple of hours time, so he should call back then _regardless_ of _your_ opinion on the matter. -- Martin A.
