This sounds annoying as hell for senders and incredibly non-standard. Why not just deal with spam? It’s not a big deal.
All my spam goes into a folder I basically never look at.

In these situations, the sending server is required to hold the message and try again, and those servers that don't are the ones that are violating the standard. Moreover, the sending user should never see the temporary failure. This is all outlined in Section 6.1 of RFC5321 [2].
