SMTP 252 Cannot Verify User vs 452 Insufficient Storage
SMTP 252 (Cannot Verify User) is a 2xx Positive Completion response, while 452 (Insufficient Storage) is a 4xx Transient Negative response. 252 indicates that the server cannot verify the user but will accept the message and attempt delivery. This is often returned in response to VRFY when the server intentionally hides user information. In contrast, 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.
