The action that K-9 takes *should* be based on the error code that
it gets from the server it is talking to. If the error is 5xx (the
verbiage is irrelevant), that's a permanent error and K-9 shouldn't
try again. If the error code is 4xx, that's a transient error and
the standards are that the initiating side should fall-back and try
again.

So, if you can see/capture the error code -- if it's 5xx, then
report it as a K-9 bug. However, if it's 4xx, then complain to the
recipient's isp.
