Answer 1

If you are using the sendmail method on an SMTP instance, then it will return

a dictionary, with one entry for each recipient that was refused. Each entry contains a tuple of the SMTP error code and the accompanying error message sent by the server.

if you use the docmd method on the same class, the it will return

a 2-tuple composed of a numeric response code and the actual response line (multiline responses are joined into one long line.)
