Others have hinted at this, but let me call it out explicitly:

   Pay attention to the SMTP Enhanced Status Codes

A [45]XX can be graduated by the associated [45].X.X.

Add to the below list, if you get a 550 5.7.1 you need to stop mailing and look very hard at your customer's list gathering practices. Either the receiving system's sysadmins or the individual recipient is intentionally refusing mail from you specifically.

E.g.:

   552 5.2.3
   552 5.3.4    You sent something too porky for the recipient. That's
                *your* fault, not theirs.

   452 4.3.1    The entire destination system is out of disk space.
                Likely not the recipient's fault.

   5XX 5.3.5    The sysadmins running the recipient's mail system are
                not top notch.  Not the recipient's fault.

   550 5.6.9    The recipient is hosted on a server running old software
                that fails on UTF8 headers.  While they might lose
                some of the messages you send their way, this isn't
                necessarily an excuse to boot them from the list
                outright (unless the majority of your traffic
                provokes this failure).
