350737 2005-04-30 06:45:00 An email I sent was bounced by Orcon. The text of the rejection folows:


The original message was received at Fri, 29 Apr 2005 20:08:24 +1200
from grunt9.ihug.co.nz [203.109.254.51]

----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<xxxxx@orcon.net.nz>
(reason: 550 5.2.1 <xxxxxr@orcon.net.nz>... Mailbox disabled for this recipient)

----- Transcript of session follows -----
... while talking to smtp2.orcon.net.nz.:
>>> DATA
<<< 550 5.2.1 <xxxxx@orcon.net.nz>... Mailbox disabled for this recipient
550 5.1.1 <xxxxx@orcon.net.nz>... User unknown
<<< 503 5.0.0 Need RCPT (recipient)

Can anyone tell me what is going on here? I had successfully sent an email to the same address a few hours earlier. I'm guessing it is something to do with the last line quoted - but what?

350738 2005-04-30 06:49:00 Maybe the recipients inbox is full Overdrive_5000 (4950)
350739 2005-04-30 07:31:00 Most likely he didn't pay his bill so they disabled it. Meaning he can't use it. pctek (84)
350740 2005-04-30 12:46:00 It means exactly what it says: Mailbox disabled for this recipient

That could be a closed account, non paid account, changed e-mail address, temporary suspension, anything really.

Maybe the recipients inbox is full
If it was full, it would have said "Mailbox Full" or "Quota Exceeded" etc.
