<h1>Service not available (system problem)</h1>
<p class="lead">
The receiving mail system was temporarily unable to accept the message due to a short-lived system issue.
This is usually not caused by the person sending the email.

<div class="section-title">What it usually means</div>
<section class="grid">
<article class="card">
<h2>Plain-English meaning</h2>
<p>
The destination email system is having trouble right now (maintenance, overload, or a temporary internal problem),
so it asked the sender to try again later.
</p>
</article>
<article class="card">
<h2>Is this a “hard failure”?</h2>
<p>
No. <b>421 4.3.2 is temporary</b>. Many systems will retry automatically and succeed once the destination recovers.
</p>
</article>
</section>
<div class="section-title">Common causes (non-technical)</div>
<section class="card">
<ul>
<li>The recipients email provider is having a short service issue.</li>
<li>The destination system is busy (high volume) and is slowing intake briefly.</li>
<li>Routine maintenance or a transient internal error.</li>
</ul>
</section>
<div class="section-title">Who needs to act?</div>
<section class="grid">
<article class="card">
<h2>Sender</h2>
<p>
Usually nothing—just allow the system to retry. If you must send immediately, you can try again later or
use an alternate channel temporarily.
</p>
</article>
<article class="card">
<h2>Recipient / IT</h2>
<p>
If this happens repeatedly, support may need to check the mail service health and confirm there isnt a broader outage.
</p>
</article>
</section>
<div class="section-title">What to send support (if it persists)</div>
<section class="card">
<p>If the problem lasts longer than expected, include:</p>
<ul>
<li>The full bounce/error text (or screenshot)</li>
<li>Sender address + recipient address</li>
<li>Date/time (and timezone)</li>
<li>Whether its happening to one recipient or many</li>
</ul>

<div class="section-title">Mini-FAQ</div>
<section class="grid">
<article class="card">
<h2>Should we resend right away?</h2>
<p>
You can, but its usually better to wait a bit. Most mail systems retry automatically and succeed once the destination recovers.
</p>
</article>
<article class="card">
<h2>Is this a spam block?</h2>
<p>
Usually no. This code most often indicates a temporary service condition on the receiving side, not a reputation block.
