It actually does give a temporary error anyway.

2005-03-22 00:12:57 H=(xxx.org) [216.12.xxx.209] F=<wsmith@???>
temporarily rejected RCPT <amanda@???>: could not connect to
63.127.yyy.50 [63.127.yyy.50]: Connection refused
2005-03-22 00:12:57 unexpected disconnection while reading SMTP command
from (xxx.org) [216.12.yyy.209]

This was from trying to verify the recipient at that time, it was unable
to connect to the 63.127.yyy.50 host so exim issued a temp defer.

I think it was because it could not verify the recipient (positively or
negatively) hence a deferral.

But I would like to accept this message rather than defer it, *only*
because I cannot talk to the remote host.

still thinking about how this could be done if re-written differently.
