	I would recommend you examine the RFC for SMTP to see what the return
codes could be.

Hmm, 235 may not be a standard response...

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5321#section-4.2.3


Ah... Extended codes...

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5248#section-2.4
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4954#section-6


For the most part, any 2xx code falls into some sort of success category.
