I understand that it is a permanent failure code. But clearly a full
mailbox is not a true permanent situation (although a spammer case is
probably one that not only will not be emptied, but likely to be cut
off as well).
What I was looking for is if there was a table of response codes and
how to act when receiving them. Because of scattered documentation
for qmail that means I haven't yet found everything, I'm trying to
focus at the moment on what's important now.
If it is the case that the answer is "no", then the answer is mapped into
being "you'll have to make a hack to do that". I take it you are trying
to say that the answer is "no".
