SMTP 354 (Start Mail Input) is a 3xx Positive Intermediate response, while 521 (Host Does Not Accept Mail) is a 5xx Permanent Negative response. 354 indicates that the server is ready to receive the message body. The client should begin sending the email content (headers and body) and terminate with a single line containing only a period (CRLF.CRLF). In contrast, 521 means that the host does not accept mail at all. This indicates the server exists but is explicitly configured to reject all incoming email messages.
