It's defined in RFC 1839 <http://rfc1839.x42.com/>
4.X.X Persistent Transient Failure
A persistent transient failure is one in which the message as
sent is valid, but some temporary event prevents the successful
sending of the message. Sending in the future may be successful.
X.4.X Network and Routing Status
The networking or routing codes report status about the
delivery system itself. These system components include any
necessary infrastructure such as directory and routing
services. Network issues are assumed to be under the
control of the destination or intermediate system
administrator.
X.4.1 No answer from host
The outbound connection attempt was not answered, either
because the remote system was busy, or otherwise unable to
take a call. This is useful only as a persistent transient
error.
