Outgoing Email Deliver Error

Every time when your email can not be delivered, the SMTP server sends you a notification, which includes a standard error message, associated with the real problem. a.. 2 means the email was successfully sent; a.. 4 means there was a temporary problem while sending the email (your email server may try to send it again or you have to resend it, depending on your server settings). Such error messages are using codes like 4.X.X, where X.X are used in order to give more precise information about the error; a.. 5 means there is a permanent/fatal error related to the email (the email address of the receiver does not exist, it doesn't accept emails from you, etc). Such error messages are using codes like 5.X.X, where X.X are used in order to give more precise information about the error.
