They aren't 421's.  They're 55x's.  And... they should cause the sending
server to generate a bounce message.  If everything is set up correctly,
*somebody* should eventually see that bounce.  :-)

I don't think my mail client supports sending Return Reciepts back, or
maybe just not to lists, I'm not sure.  I never see them any more.  When
I did see them, you can rest assured I always sent them.  ;-)
