Is it possible to change the reject codes from the Dovecot LMTP agent? In particular I would like to change the "550 5.1.1 <...> User doesn't exist." to a temporary failure, since we already validate email addresses on the mail front-end, and such errors are most likely due to a temporary glitch in the user database lookup.
What userdb are you using? Temporary userdb lookup glitches should cause Dovecot to return a temporary error failure, not "user doesn't exist"..
We use Postfix on the front-end, which is very configurable in this respect. I don't see a way to override the error code from LMTP, though, but suggestions are welcome.
I don't really like adding settings that have very few users..
