Hi All,
I am currently using v 4.0.2.105 of the MailBee .NET tools in a VB .NET application. My question is:
I know that I can verify email addresses on the SMTP server by using the TestSend() method, but if I create a phony address, say, noone@zzzzzz.com, there is no error generated (the SMTP server accepts it), but the mail will obviously not go through.
Are there any tools in MailBee .NET that will verify if an account name and domain are valid? Or is there a .NET tool I could use in conjunction with the MailBee tools to validate an email?
Thanks,
HugoDrx

Well, you can check if the domain is valid (Smtp.GetMXHosts returns at least a single entry). However, you can't check if the account is valid. This check is disabled on most mail server nowdays to prevent spammers from using it to iterate though all popular names and check if they exist on the given host.
Regards,
Alex

Alex,
I can see spammers being keen to use that kind of feature. It's not hugely important that I verify an address, so just the domain is fine.
Thanks for your help.
