What it means
A CD code appears when a connection to a server fails, is refused, or ends. Most of them carry a second line with the server's own reason. MTA's own documentation gives this code as Join flooding.
How to fix it
Work down the list and stop when it is solved.
Wait a minute before trying again
Repeated reconnects trip this. Leave it a minute, then connect once.
Copy the whole message first
Write down every line MTA shows, not only the code. The rest of the message often names the file, the server or the reason, and that is what tells you which step below applies.
Still stuck? The Fix tool reads MTA's own log on your computer and points at the matching steps. Nothing is uploaded.
