X.6.3
[RFC3463] (Standards Track) from the The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) definition for codes that end with X.6.3:
The message content must be converted in order to be forwarded but such conversion is not possible or is not practical by a host in the forwarding path. This condition may result when an ESMTP gateway supports 8bit transport but is not able to downgrade the message to 7 bit as required for the next hop.
