The 550 error means _permanent_ error. If people wrongly choose to answer 550,
you should honor their request and bounce the mail. There is no purpose in doing
"wrong" things like treating 550 errors as temporary just because others are not
answering what _you_ _think_ should be correct, maybe they really don't want
that mail after all.
By taking a life analogy, you should not kill your customer because he forgot to
pay his bill, but you should tell him to pay his bill.
