MSRP defines Failure-Reports - section 7.1.4 says you can send a Failure-Report 
if an error is detected after you have already sent the 200 OK to the MSRP 
SEND.

There is no concept of a 'session' in email, so the server can just reply with 
an error, or send you an email back. In MSRP it might be too late if the 
session is already finished.

The problem is not warning the recipient, but warning the sender. I see no 
means to communicate the sender *why* the transfer failed.
