I expect MUAs to fail if there is any 4yz or 5yz response to a RCPT.

WHY?

One good reason is that the MUA may want to tell the user that sending the message with that set of recipients isn't possible, and ask what to do. The user might change an address, add a PS mentioning the omitted recipient, etc.

(Obviously this applies to 5xx only.)
