Hi,

I am getting error code 213 from SMTP server. What does it mean?

I gone through some material on web and it looks like
2 - first digit- indicates success
1- second digit - indicates informational message
3 - third digit - Not too sure what does it mean

Can i safely ignore this smtp error code without any issues. Can i
code something like
if ( smtp_error_code%100==2 )
//ignore error
else
//do some error handling

Is such kind of code normal protocol when you are sending emails
programmatic by using smtp?

Since this is a C++ newsgroup, I will only go into the C++ part.
Shouldn't
if ( smtp_error_code%100==2 )
be changed into
if ( smtp_error_code/100==2 )
?
Ignoring the possibility that smtp_error_code > 999.

Well if we go this way, status codes are not numbers, they're a
sequence of three digit characters. In C++, they shouldn't be
represented as an int, but as:

    class InvalidStatusCode : public std:exception {
    public:
        InvalidStatusCode(const char* message);
    };

    class StatusCode {
    private:
        std::string digits;
    public:
        StatusCode(std::string code) throw (InvalidStatusCode);
        StatusCode(const char* buffer) throw (InvalidStatusCode);

        char responseStatus(); // the first digit
        bool isPositivePreliminaryReply();
        bool isPositiveCompletionReply();
        bool isPositiveImmediateReply();
        bool isTransentNegativeCompletionReply();
        bool isPermanentnegativeCompletionReply();
        bool isUnexpectedReply();

        char responseCategory(); // the second digit
        bool isSyntaxError();
        bool isInformationCategory();
        bool isConnectionCategory;
        bool isMailSystemCategory();
        bool isUnexpectedCategory();

        char responseSubCategory(); // the third digit
    };
