the sender is not a human (at this level). If you accept it means
that the message will be delivered. So it cannot generate a temporary
or permanent failure, the only way to have an error message generated
and sent back to the sender. And note that under temporary error
conditions the error message is only generated after the delivery
attempt has failed for a certain amount of time.
