This error occurs if you’re sending via SMTP. The SMTP server rejects the mail for several reasons:
Your server doesn’t allow different sender and usernames
Some servers require that the From email address is the same as the email address used to authenticate. Check your from-name and match it to the username you use to log in to your SMTP server.
The file size of your message is too large
Some servers reject a message if the body is too large. HTML emails in general are bigger than normal text messages but you should try to decrease the size by removing some content or disabling embedded images.
The receiver is blacklisted or blocked
Sometimes certain email addresses are blocked and to prevent getting blacklisted the server rejects your message. The best resolution is to choose a different delivery method.
It’s a temporary issue
Sometimes the email server responds with this error if some limits have been reached or you’re sending “too fast”. Please pause your campaigns for a while and try again later.
If you are sending via Amazon SES you must have verified the from, reply-to, and bounce address you are using in your mailings.
