1893    Vaudreuil    Jan 96   Enhanced Mail System Status Codes

There currently is not a standard mechanism for the reporting of mail
system errors except for the limited set offered by SMTP and the system
specific text descriptions sent in mail messages.  There is a pressing
need for a rich machine readable status code for use in delivery status
notifications [DSN].  This document proposes a new set of status codes
for this purpose.  [STANDARDS-TRACK]
