I think we had this discussion here already. I asked some similar
question. My attempt was to use some fallback host in case of 5xx
in some other router.

I understood that it doesn't work. 5xx is definitive and final and
permanent and the mail should bounce. (This doesn't mean that I agree
with this theory ;-)

May be you can setup something with condition = ${run{....}}
and run a test in advance.
