If this feature will be implemented, then the complementary
"downgrade_rcpt_5xx_to_4xx" needed too. Because the "5xx Over Quota" response
happens not once nor twice. It is not violates the standard, but when I have
large mailing list and wish to delete dead addresses from it automatically, I
prefer the 4xx responses for the temporary errors same as "Over Quota".
