Add the "if a message is rejected" blurb with the proper DSN codes to
"PermError" (same style as TempError/SoftFail/Fail) - [sarcasm snipped]

The definition of TempError says:

| 2.5.6.  TempError
| 
|    [...]  If the message is rejected during the SMTP transaction for this
|    reason, the software SHOULD use an SMTP reply code of 451 and, if
|    supported, the 4.4.3 DSN code.

I agree that we should say the same (with s/451/550/, s/4.4.3/5.4.3/) for 
PermError.
