Below is a list of the inbound and outbound rejection reasons which can be seen within the portal and the cause of them.
Inbound Rejections
Message Direction | Rejection Reason | Cause |

Inbound | Greylisted | When we receive a message in our mail server which is from an unknown address to an unknown address, then the following tuple will be grey-listed: IP, sender, recipient. However, if our mail server receives the same tuple for the 2nd time, then the IP address will be added to our system-wide global greylisting allow list. It will not be greylisted again. |

Inbound | Invalid Mailbox (Call FWD) | We got a rejection from the downstream mail server (Domain most likely configured, verify via SMTP). |
Inbound | Sender Verify Failed | Server tries to verify the senders e-mail address. In order to verify this, the server connects to the remote SMTP server from which the mail originates according to the "MAIL FROM" command. If the server can't be reached, or if it doesn't know about that particular e-mail address, the delivery is denied. |
