Show DSN status code syslog equate
When sendmail bounces a message, it notifies the envelope sender of the problem using DSN. A critical part of DSN is the error code, which provides more detail than the usual SMTP error code. A DSN error code, as reported with syslog, looks like this:
dsn=5.7.0
Here, the 5 means
it was a permanent error, and the 7 means it was a
security or policy rejection. The meanings of DSN
status codes are documented in RFC1893.
