Yes, that is indeed what I am talking about. Or more precise: I get
some reply from the server. What value is it supposed to represent.
There is no definition in the standards because it's the human readable
response being passed to syslog.

Syslog'ing of the error message?
Commercial mta's, PowerMTA and Momentum in this case, generally do not
output to syslog... But yes, the error message is saved in a log file
and in one case in a JSON format as well (to aid the automatic
processing of events). Some examples of logs are:
PowerMTA:
550 5.2.1 The email account that you tried to reach is disabled. Learn
more at https://support.google.com/mail/?p=DisabledUser
<https://support.google.com/mail/?p=DisabledUser> abc.def - gsmtp
My preferred (above)
Momentum logfile, single line:
550-5.1.1 The email account that you tried to reach does not exist.
Please try\r\n550-5.1.1 double-checking the recipient's email address
for typos or\r\n550-5.1.1 unnecessary spaces. Learn more at\r\n550
5.1.1 https://support.google.com/mail/?p=NoSuchUser
<https://support.google.com/mail/?p=NoSuchUser> abc.def - gsmtp
Seen this, hate it as it is probably the most unreadable (above)... to
make it into my preferred it would result in logging of:
550 5.1.1 The email account that you tried to reach does not exist.
Please try double-checking the recipient's email address for typos or
unnecessary spaces. Learn more at
https://support.google.com/mail/?p=NoSuchUser
<https://support.google.com/mail/?p=NoSuchUser> abc.def - gsmtp
Momentum JSON entry (mind you: A '\r\n' is a real newline in JSON. See
http://json.org ):
"452-4.2.2 The email account that you tried to reach is over quota.
Please direct\r\n452-4.2.2 the recipient to\r\n452 4.2.2
https://support.google.com/mail/?p=OverQuotaTemp
<https://support.google.com/mail/?p=OverQuotaTemp> abc.def - gsmtp"
I hate this inconsistency before the weekend ;-).
Yours,
