Intentional. The Milter handles all email, including non-SMTP
contexts (local pickup daemon, qmqpd daemon, and internally-forwarded
mesasages). The 550 status is meaningful only in an SMTP context.
The 5.7.1 on the other hand is valid in any email handling context.
Postfix encapsulates the channel-specific details in dedicated
programs. For example, SMTP status codes are handled in the SMTP
server and client; and UNIX process exit status codes in the local
and pipe delivery agents).
