Custom Return Codes

Plugins return constants to Haraka to specify how to respond to clients for a particular hook.

These constants include DENY, DENYSOFT and DENYDISCONNECT which automatically output an appropriate SMTP status code (e.g. 450 temporary failures for DENYSOFT or 550 permanent failures for DENY or DENYDISCONNECT) in the SMTP response sent back to the client along with an optional message text that you return as arguments to the next() function.

The DSN allows a plugin to return RFC 3463 compliant extended status codes and allows plugins to override the SMTP status code returned by Haraka.

The DSN module exposes a callable function for each status condition defined in RFC 3463.

Please refer to RFC 3463 for further information and background.

Using the DSN module in your plugin

Load the DSN module by adding the following line to the top of your plugin:

const DSN = require('haraka-dsn');

Then instead of:

return next(DENY, 'No such user');

You can call the DSN module and return that in place of optional message argument of next():

return next(DENY, DSN.no_such_user());

This will cause Haraka to return the following back to the client:

550 5.1.1 No such user

The DSN functions are used like this:

DSN.<function name>([message], [code]);

The function name is required and maps to the list of defined status codes in RFC 3463. All of the available functions are detailed in the table below.

[message] is optional and should contain the message that you would like to be returned to the client, this value can be a string or an array which can contain multiple elements which will cause a multi-line reply to be sent to the client. If a message is not supplied, then the default message for the DSN function is used.

[code] is optional and should be a numeric SMTP status code to be returned to the client.
