What's Causing This Error

The SMTP server may display the SMTP error 421 in many instances since this error can have numerous variations. However, it is most likely a temporary issue within the mail server or the recipient's email account.

The most common causes for this error are:

1. Too many connections from your host.
2. The server is busy and cannot accept the connection.
3. Service is temporarily unavailable.

Solution - Here's How To Resolve It

Since these errors are mostly temporary, the user should wait for a considerable amount of time before attempting to send an email to the same server or connect to the same server.
