How to know which error occurred

Author: SuheylZCreated Jun 19, 2025Updated Jul 3, 2025

I need to know what exactly cause some issue. for instance there might be different errors.

  • 521 Server does not accept mail
  • 552 Requested mail action aborted: exceeded storage allocation
  • 422 Recipient’s mailbox has no space.
  • 450 Recipient domain’s MX records missing or invalid
  • 450/550 Recipient server temporarily rejects first-time senders

in each case the retry logic is going to be different. so using PhpMailer, how can I know what caused failure?
