Right, exactly what I was thinking. That's what we use it for when things go awry with our several email commands.

I figured I was coming in on the edge of this discussion, anyhow!

Later.

Vern,

It's done interactively to verify that e-mail servers are functioning
properly. It's not done from a program to validate e-mail addresses.

Two completely different things.

This may not pertain here, but there are many examples on the Net of
using TELNET to port 25 for testing SMTP processes. I can't speak to
whether this is "right" - I just know it's done a lot.

One link is from Microsoft - sorry, had to say it!

There are many others, if you google for "telnet smtp test". We have
knowledge base articles on doing this, as well. But it's only for
testing, you get to enter the SMTP commands yourself. We don't recommend
it for production, only as a troubleshooting tool.

Am I saying something already posted? Hope not. And also hope I'm not
appearing to contradict Scott's points.

Late in the day!
Vern
