I would simply like to point out that 550 at SMTP time is not a bounce.
You get an email bounce back with an error code in it. Is there some other definition I'm unaware of?
Wait, that is probably from the local mailer, and otherwise the sender may never know about the rejected messages.
5xx are bounces, a perm failure. 4xx error codes are temp (retry) errors.
