What's wrong with 5.1.2 and 5.1.8 ?

      X.1.2   Bad destination system address

         The destination system specified in the address does not exist
         or is incapable of accepting mail.  For Internet mail names,
         this means the address portion to the right of the "@" is
         invalid for mail.  This code is only useful for permanent
         failures.

      X.1.8   Bad sender's system address

         The sender's system specified in the address does not exist or
         is incapable of accepting return mail.  For domain names, this
         means the address portion to the right of the "@" is invalid
         for mail.

Wrong group of codes. Those are status for mail systems to return, not
the routing layer.
