Over the years I've seen rate limiting responses as 421 and 451 (with the first being the most frequent). Is there a consensus in what the correct code should be?

I'm going through RFC-5821 and none of the codes mentioned there seem to be a perfect match to "hitting a rate limit for an authenticated user" in my submission servers.

Given the above, I'm leaning towards using 421, returned after each and every MAIL TO command.

Thanks in advance.
