Postfix never returns 5XX for temporary lookup problems, even when it
returns 5XX for NXDOMAIN and other hard failures. Setting the various
reject codes to 5XX is safe and recommended once one is confident that
the configuration is correct. This is better for the (legitimate) sender,
because a timely bounce is much more useful than a 5 day delayed bounce.
