NDR Codes

With the release of version 3.8.11.12, Alligate will now return NDR codes when a message or command is refused.

For standard refusals Alligate uses standard Microsoft Exchange NDR codes. Because the range of standard codes does not accommodate the various methods Alligate uses to refuse messages, it was necessary to "invent" codes of our own. Non standard codes are indicated below in blue. These codes will help our users better track issued where a message may have been refused erroneously.

Please note: These codes apply only to Alligate generated responses. Responses that are relayed from the mail server to the remote server will remain unchanged.

CODE	MEANING
4.8.1	Greylist "Try Again Later" refusal
5.2.1	Message size too large
5.4.8	Possible loop condition
5.5.1	Invalid recipient
5.5.2	Command out of sequence
