Status error

the "TM_MAIL" instruction. In this case, there is no guarantee that the e-mail
will be sent to other recipients, even if these were entered correctly.

2. You can find more detailed information on the SMTP error code and other error
codes in SMTP protocol on the Internet or in the error documentation of the
mail server. You can also view the most recent message from the mail server in
your instance DB in the BUFFER1 parameter. If you look under "Data", you will
find the data most recently sent by the "TM_MAIL" instruction.
