What do the error codes mean when I try to send email?

When your email can not be delivered the RawData SMTP server sends you a notification which includes a standard error message associated with the real problem.

Each code is composed of three digits (X.X.X). The first digit gives the status of the email message:

2 means the email was successfully sent;
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;
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.
