← Back to context Comment by jeffbee 6 hours ago I would simply like to point out that 550 at SMTP time is not a bounce. 4 comments jeffbee Reply doubled112 6 hours ago 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. b112 5 hours ago 5xx are bounces, a perm failure. 4xx error codes are temp (retry) errors. jeffbee 4 hours ago Incorrect. A bounce is a delivery status notification generated by a mailer after it has already accepted a message for delivery. A 5xx permanent error is a refusal to accept the message in the first place. TZubiri 3 hours ago Is this standarized terminology in some RFC like SMTP? Or is it presumably some well established folk lingo?
