SMTP Configuration
Protocol-level configuration for senders running their own SMTP infrastructure. Port 25 versus 587 (server-to-server versus client submission), FCrDNS configuration (the silent gate at Layer 5 that operators routinely overlook), per-ISP transport maps in Postfix, and the SMTP error code reference — particularly 5xx codes, where 550 has at least seven distinct variants and the wrong remediation makes the situation worse.
