EX_TEMPFAIL means a temporary error, which is expected to dissolve 
within time.

Nice examples are locking errors (trying to lock an already locked 
mailbox) or quota-errors (trying to deliver to a mailbox which is full)

HTH  HAND!

EX_TEMPFAIL means temporary failure delivering mail.  In practice, that
usually means over quota.
