551: Do MTAs try forward-path???

2004-03-31 05:33:07

HELO list!

About the 551 reply code:

"...The receiver refuses to accept mail for this user,
and the sender must either redirect the mail according
to the information provided or return an error
response to the originating user..." (rfc821)

Which should be the correct action to take as a
sender???

Whats happening "today" on the Internet??? Is there a
"general behaviour"??? Do MTAs go for a redirection of
they choose to return an error response???

Thanks in advance.
Martìn.
