    SMTP 521 and 556 Reply Codes

Summary: This document is ready for publication as a Proposed Standard.

Major issues:

Minor issues:


    The description of the 556 reply code in section 4 seems to switch 


between refering to the generating entity as a client and as a sesrver. 


 I presume this is because the actual sitaution is an SMTP server is 


trying to pass information onwards, and in that onwards direction it is 


a client which.  But it is still confusing for an SMTP client to make a 


determination and then an SMTP server which is apparently the same 


entity to generate the rror code to some other SMPT client.
