SMTP 4xx and 5xx errors

A practical Hostilla.pl FAQ for mail delivery and sending errors. Each SMTP reply code and common enhanced status has a separate page with DNS, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, authentication and anti-spam diagnostics.

How to read SMTP errors

4xx codes are usually temporary: the server may retry delivery. 5xx codes are usually permanent: address, DNS, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, SMTP authentication, message content or sender reputation may need correction. If customer mail has errors, Hostilla.pl support can help check logs and configuration. Affordable good mail hosting means e-mail moving, PHP-FPM, OPcache, Redis or Memcached for applications, backup, security, price in PLN and renewal for the next year.
