2.0.0
SMTPINFOCriticalGenericHIGH confidence
Other or undefined status — generic success
Production Risk
None — this is a success code.
What this means
The message was successfully delivered but the receiving system did not return a more specific enhanced status code. This is a catch-all success indicator used when no finer-grained status code applies.
Why it happens
- 1The receiving MTA successfully accepted the message and does not implement specific enhanced status codes.
- 2The MTA uses 2.0.0 as a default success code when a more specific 2.x.x code is not applicable.
- 3Legacy SMTP servers that support enhanced codes only minimally may return 2.0.0 for all successes.
How to reproduce
Successful message acceptance by an MTA that returns a generic enhanced status rather than a specific success code.
