RETRY goes
too far because it ignores both context and local policy. For
example, if after
some number of days you're still getting that 4yz on repeated attempts,
returning the message is entirely appropriate.
SHOULD RETRY is a better fit IMO.
I agree that SHOULD is better here. I was thinking "must" in terms
of "do it unless you have a good reason not to". Obviously, a dose
of common sense is applicable here. :-)
