SIP 301 Moved Permanently vs 493 Undecipherable
SIP 301 (Moved Permanently) is a 3xx Redirection response, while 493 (Undecipherable) is a 4xx Client Failure response. 301 indicates that the user can no longer be found at the address in the Request-URI. The client should direct future requests to the new address in the Contact header. In contrast, 493 means that the request body was encrypted with S/MIME but the server cannot decrypt it. The server may lack the necessary key or certificate.
