I'm really getting sick of replies like this.
First of all, is there any reason for you to say "Why the hell [snip]", any
reason at all for the vulgarity?
Second of all, I don't want my server saying. "Sorry it didn't work out."
People in general don't get those messages, and if there is anything I can
do to reduce the tech support calls I receive saying "What does this message
mean", I'm going to do it.
Third, I do appreciate the RFC pointers, and I will check those out.
If anyone else has some valuable information about what I can do to change
those messages while still keeping true to the RFCs and any other standards,
please let me know. The default messages aren't good enough for the average
newbie internet e-mail user, in my humble opinion, and I wish to change them
on my server.

And why the hell would someone ever want to change them ?
Many people expect them to have that form.
Anyway, RFCs-1891,1892,1893,1894 explain what the messages
'SHOULD' contain, exactly.
