Re: [Asrg] TitanKey and "white lies"... (Faking SMTP hard errors "improves" C/R utility?)

Yakov,

I'd like to be able to respond to the question

        Is there a standard of care for delivery and non-delivery?

in the affirmative.

E.g.,

The industry standard for MTA response when delivered mail addressed to a
local addressee for which service has been administratively disabled is:   

        "550 Mailbox disabled for this recipient"

Futzing about with 821 and 2821 means that when the Expert makes a statement
like the above, the nice man or woman in a suit representing someone who is
responding to a claim of breach of duty by asserting there is no standard
will have you to thank.

Lets not make judgements more difficult by making the norms elusive.

Eric
