[mailop] 5.7.1 bounce codes

2017-12-11 Thread Alexander Burch
5.7.1 codes are used exclusively for policy blocks (IP blacklisted, content deemed spammy etc). Gmail uses it for DMARC rejections. Hotmail also uses 5.7.1 when an IP is outright blocked. This type of bounce confuses me a little. It certainly shouldn't be used to mark the recipient as invalid,
