Then MANUALLY add a manualroute route for that server. Or batch
SMTP the email. This is not the same as ignoring a 5xx response.
In a situation where you want to get an incorrect 5xx remedied you
contact the postmaster at that domain. This is what they are there
for after all; you contact when they become "accidentally blacklisted"
and THEY fix the issue. In the interim you use other "tricks" which
don't include breaking RFC.
