How we can detect that it's not a smtp server ? To be honest I don't know, but I suspected that if a mail client sends some requests to an SMTP server, for example credentials to log in, the SMTP server should answer that request according to the SMTP protocol. If that is not the case, doesn't that lead to the conclusion that either the address is invalid, the server at that address is not an SMTP server, or that the SMTP server at that address is temporarily down. If it's not possible to determine that it's not an SMTP server, maybe the error message could be made more helpful: 'The server could not be contacted at this address, verify if the address is correct or try again later' or something like that. |
