Class 5: a permanent failure. Resending the same message will not help: something about the message, the sender or the destination must change (RFC 3463 §3.1). The registry says this code is only useful as a permanent failure.
- Subject: X.7 · Security and policy
Policies (per-host or per-recipient filters) and cryptographic operations; up to the sender, the recipient or both.
- Associated basic codes (IANA registry)
