DSpace is probably just passing it back as-is. But you might find the place where the sending is done, detect failure, and wrap the MTA's message in something more helpful.
Probably you should wrap try/catch around the Transport.send(message) call at the end of org.dspace.core.Email.send(), catching MessagingException, and throw a new exception that wraps it, providing an appropriate message. (The "552 5.3.4" bit is what makes me think that that is an MTA message.) -- Mark H. Wood Lead Technology Analyst University Library Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis 755 W.
