[RFC3463] (Standards Track) from the The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) definition for codes that end with X.3.1:

Mail system storage has been exceeded. The general semantics imply that the individual recipient may not be able to delete material to make room for additional messages. This is useful only as a persistent transient error.
