(C++) 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.

    mailman.put_SmtpHost("smtp.example.com");

    email.put_Subject("This is a test");
    email.put_Body("This is a test");
    email.put_From("myemail@example.com");
    bool success = email.AddTo("person1","person1@example.com");
    success = email.AddTo("person2","person2@example.com");
    success = email.AddTo("person3","person3@example.com");
    // The SMTP server smtp.example.com won't know anything about an email address @somewhere_else.com
    success = email.AddTo("person3","person4@somewhere_else.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.)
    CkStringArray badAddrs;
    success = mailman.VerifyRecips(email,badAddrs);
    if (success != true) {
        std::cout << mailman.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    int i = 0;
    while (i < badAddrs.get_Count()) {
        std::cout << badAddrs.getString(i) << "\r\n";
        i = i + 1;
    }

    std::cout << "done." << "\r\n";
    }
