When Deep Discovery Email Inspector blocks an email message based on Sender Filtering settings, Deep Discovery Email Inspector sends the following SMTP error codes to the upstream MTA.

Note:

Make sure that the upstream MTA can take the necessary pre-configured actions upon receiving these error codes. For example, creating an event log or sending notifications to senders.
