Well, as it is marked to not be usable from failure route I hadn't considered 
it.

The following fragment seems to work, so I'll assume it is safe to call 
append_to_reply from failure_route itself. Attached (tested) patch does this, 
please apply.


<failure route>
if (t_local_replied("all")) {
	route(78);
	t_reply("503", "Service Unavailable");
}


route[78] {
	append_to_reply("Retry-After: 53\r\n");
	return;
}
