See the following RFCs:

http://rfc.sunsite.dk/rfc/rfc2034.html
http://rfc.sunsite.dk/rfc/rfc1893.html

1893 says:

4.X.X   Persistent Transient Failure

       A persistent transient failure is one in which the message as
       sent is valid, but some temporary event prevents the successful
       sending of the message.  Sending in the future may be
       successful.

X.4.X   Network and Routing Status

          The networking or routing codes report status about the
          delivery system itself.  These system components include any
          necessary infrastructure such as directory and routing
          services.  Network issues are assumed to be under the
          control of the destination or intermediate system
          administrator.

X.4.2   Bad connection

          The outbound connection was established, but was otherwise
          unable to complete the message transaction, either because
          of time-out, or inadequate connection quality. This is
          useful only as a persistent transient error.


So, I guess the answer is persistent dodgy connection :-)

Cheers.

Baz.
