your idea is completly broken
email is NOT instant message

it is VERY common that some destination is not available due network
problems between your server and the final one or overload and that
is why 4xx was invented

typically a mail has up to 5 days to reach the destination
maximal_queue_lifetime = 5d

and no, you do your users NOT a favour by instantly give
them an error back because temporary errors - if i would
not be my own mailadmin and my ISP would force such a setup
i would like to have my money back to say it clear
