550 vs. 571 as recommended spf-fail permanent failure code

2004-02-08 19:09:30
Section 3 "SPF Record Evaluation" contains:

|   Fail (-): the message does not meet a domain's definition of
|   legitimacy.  MTAs MAY reject the message using a permanent
|   failure reply code.  (Code 550 is RECOMMENDED.  See RFC2821
|   section 7.1.)

I would think that 571 be more appropriate code to recommend than 550.

From RFC3463:

| X.7.1   Delivery not authorized, message refused
|
|    The sender is not authorized to send to the destination.  This
|    can be the result of per-host or per-recipient filtering.  This
|    memo does not discuss the merits of any such filtering, but
|    provides a mechanism to report such.  This is useful only as a
|    permanent error.
