2.0.0
SMTPINFOCriticalGenericHIGH confidence

Other or undefined status — generic success

Production Risk

None — this is a success code.

What this means

The message was successfully delivered but the receiving system did not return a more specific enhanced status code. This is a catch-all success indicator used when no finer-grained status code applies.

Why it happens
  1. 1The receiving MTA successfully accepted the message and does not implement specific enhanced status codes.
  2. 2The MTA uses 2.0.0 as a default success code when a more specific 2.x.x code is not applicable.
  3. 3Legacy SMTP servers that support enhanced codes only minimally may return 2.0.0 for all successes.
How to reproduce

Successful message acceptance by an MTA that returns a generic enhanced status rather than a specific success code.
