Please Whitelist This Site? I know everyone hates ads. But please understand that I am providing premium content for free that takes hundreds of hours of time to research and write. I don't want to go to a pay-only model like some sites, but when more and more people block ads, I end up working for free. And I have a family to support, just like you. :) If you like The TCP/IP Guide, please consider the download version. It's priced very economically and you can read all of it in a convenient format without ads. If you want to use this site for free, I'd be grateful if you could add the site to the whitelist for Adblock. To do so, just open the Adblock menu and select "Disable on tcpipguide.com". Or go to the Tools menu and select "Adblock Plus Preferences...". Then click "Add Filter..." at the bottom, and add this string: "@@||tcpipguide.com^$document". Then just click OK. Thanks for your understanding! Sincerely, Charles Kozierok Author and Publisher, The TCP/IP Guide

Combining Digit Values to Make Specific Reply Codes

These “x”, “y” and “z” digit meanings are combined to make specific reply codes. For example, consider reply code “530”, diagrammed in Figure 292. The first digit tells you that this is a permanent negative reply; the second indicates that it is related to login or accounting. (It is in fact an error message received when a login fails.)

Using “encoded” reply codes allows the code itself to immediately communicate information, and provides a way of keeping different types of responses organized. The idea described above was adapted for use by several other application protocols, including SMTP for e-mail, NNTP for network news and HTTP for the World Wide Web.
