By an appropriate retry rule, but it isn't possible to pick up that
specific error. The best you could do would be to write a rule that
mapped to mailman@???, or perhaps to *@shire.net if that's what
you want. A rule such as

mailman@??? *

(note: NO retry times specified) should turn all temporary delivery
errors for the address mailman@??? into immediate bounces.
