This error indicates a temporary server error. This error usually means that the email server is temporarily unable to process your request due to issues like server overload, maintenance, or network instability.

Verify if the email server is undergoing maintenance or experiencing any known issues.

SMTP550_5.2.253

This error indicates that the sender has been throttled due to continuous invalid license errors. This usually happens when there are repeated issues with the sender’s license configuration, causing the email server to temporarily block sending emails from that account.

Ensure that the sender’s email account has a valid license configuration.

If the issue persists, you may need to wait for the throttling period to expire before attempting to send emails again.

This error indicates that the recipient’s mailbox is full and cannot accept any more messages. This usually means that the recipient’s email account has reached its storage limit.

Try resending the email later, giving the recipient some time to clear space in their inbox.
