SMTP 250 OK vs 500 Syntax Error

SMTP 250 (OK) is a 2xx Positive Completion response, while 500 (Syntax Error) is a 5xx Permanent Negative response. 250 indicates that the requested mail action has been completed successfully. This is the most common positive response in SMTP, returned after HELO/EHLO, MAIL FROM, RCPT TO, and DATA completion. In contrast, 500 means that the server could not recognize the command due to a syntax error. The command line was malformed or the command is not recognized by this server.
