If somebody writes a "retry clarification" draft *and* the
proposal goes in this direction, please copy Hector's ASCII
art.
SM's proposal is different: The second cell in the third
column could be "MAY RETRY" if there was another recipient
causing the DATA 5xx ...and if I understood it correctly.
SM's idea needs more rows to reflect eight scenarios of
"mixed" RCPT outcomes. It could be something like this:
DATA 2xx DATA 4xx DATA 5xx comment
no rcpt -/- -/- -/- no data
only 2xx accepted try again rejected
only 4xx -/- -/- -/- try again
only 5xx -/- -/- -/- rejected
some 2xx accepted try again rejected
and 4xx try again try again TRY AGAIN <==
some 2xx accepted try again rejected
and 5xx rejected rejected rejected
some 4xx -/- -/- -/- try again
and 5xx -/- -/- -/- rejected
some 2xx accepted try again rejected
and 4xx try again try again TRY AGAIN <==
and 5xx rejected rejected rejected
The upper-case TRY AGAIN cells are the cases where
Hector would write "rejected".
