There are some 5xx codes that we consider transient.  Look at page 45 of rfc 2821 and 
you will see all of the codes.  Page 48 has a good chart of these.  Anyway, for the 
most part the codes are as Max shows but, if you look at 552 you will see:

552 Requested mail action aborted: exceeded storage allocation

iMS treats this as a transient failure.

Basically, iMS utilizes the RFC (as all mail servers do) and you can see from the 
codes what is transient and what is permanent.
