550 Mailbox Not Found
The requested action was not taken because the mailbox does not exist or the recipient address is rejected by policy. This is a permanent failure indicating the address is invalid or blocked.
이 코드를 보게 되는 경우
When sending to an email address that does not exist on the destination server, or when the server's policy rejects your message (e.g., anti-spam, sender verification failure).
해결 방법
Verify the recipient's email address for typos. If the address is correct, the mailbox may have been deleted or your domain may be blocked — check your sender reputation and SPF/DKIM/DMARC records.
