SMTP 421 Service Not Available vs 452 Insufficient Storage
Both SMTP 421 (Service Not Available) and 452 (Insufficient Storage) belong to the 4xx Transient Negative category. 421 indicates that the SMTP service is not available and the server is closing the transmission channel. This may be sent as a greeting or during a session if the server needs to shut down. Meanwhile, 452 means that the requested action was not taken because the server has insufficient system storage. The server cannot accept more mail until storage is freed.
