Hello,

I have a question regarding Postfix delivery behavior.

Is there any supported way to configure Postfix so that when an SMTP
delivery to a remote MX fails with a permanent 5xx response, the message
can be automatically retried through an alternative SMTP relay instead of
being bounced immediately?

For example:

   1. Postfix attempts direct delivery to the recipient MX.
   2.

   The remote server returns something like:

   550 5.7.1 Service unavailable; client [IP] blocked using ....
   3. Instead of immediately generating a bounce, Postfix should attempt
   delivery of the same message through a configured fallback relay.
   4. If the fallback relay also fails, the normal bounce behavior should
   apply.

The fallback should be triggered by the SMTP response, not by a manually
maintained list of recipient domains.

Is there a native Postfix mechanism for this, perhaps using transports,
smtp delivery parameters, or some queue manager feature that I'm missing?

Thanks!
