SMTP Reject

This is where the receiving mail server refuses delivery with a code and a brief message to describe why.

This is now the only non-abusive way for a receiving network to indicate that a message will not be delivered.

A mail server that is the front end for other mail servers on a network now should have the ability to verify that the destination mail servers will accept the message, and this is possible with current technology for such complex systems.
