Elaborate please?

As per the SMTP result codes you either get a 4XX in which case you can retry later, or you get a 5XX when you are denied from further retries.

If you use the (somewhat new) 63f4661fd3/validate_email/validate_email.py (L14), you should get an EmailValidationError 63f4661fd3/validate_email/exceptions.py (L4) base class with the message that occurred on denial. You can go from there and see what the exact message was; but the message is for humans and not for machines to read, hence there is no simplistic way to tell if it was a blocklist error.

The one with the message in the exception will be AddressNotDeliverableError:
63f4661fd3/validate_email/mx_check.py (L97)

The one with the message in the exception will be `AddressNotDeliverableError`: https://github.com/karolyi/py3-validate-email/blob/63f4661fd3c8f9b838784754d472b8a072a2fef2/validate_email/mx_check.py#L97

Sorry, my apologies. for some reason, github is not sending notifications to my inbox

AddressNotDeliverableError could be based on getting the IP listed in spamhaus. in such case, will 5XX be listed as the exception?

You should get the rejection message as the exception message, yes.
