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.
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.
