(Android™) Verify Email Recipients

A way to possibly determine valid/invalid email addresses. I would recommend being very careful about doing this because your IP address may be flagged as a potential spammer by the mail server (because you are probing for valid/invalid email addresses). This Chilkat functionality existed for many years, before this kind of activity became a problem. The functionality remains only because it is useful for some to test with their own SMTP servers.

    success = email.AddTo("person2","person2@example.com");

    // ...

    // Verify recipients.
    // **** See the warning about using this API method in the description above.
    // (An SMTP server only knows valid email address for its own domain.  For example,
    // smtp.example.com *may* only know if person1@example.com is valid or invalid, but does
    // not know anything about the validity of email addresses having other domains.)

    while (i < badAddrs.get_Count()) {
        Log.i(TAG, badAddrs.getString(i));
        i = i + 1;
        }

    Log.i(TAG, "done.");
