Log follows below: ([paulo@pjm ~msp/scripts]$ ./e-mail-tester-verbose.pl corentin.boissy@univ-rennes1.fr using timeout of 12 seconds @mxhosts -> mailrelais.univ-rennes1.fr @mxhosts -> mailrelais2.univ-rennes1.fr connected to mailrelais.univ-rennes1.fr BANNER: 220 mailrelais.univ-rennes1.fr ESMTP Postfix HELO: 250 mailrelais.univ-rennes1.fr MAIL FROM: 250 Ok mailrelais.univ-rennes1.fr not behaving correcly while retrieving rcpt to connected to mailrelais2.univ-rennes1.fr BANNER: 220 mailrelais2.univ-rennes1.fr ESMTP Postfix HELO: 250 mailrelais2.univ-rennes1.fr MAIL FROM: 250 Ok mailrelais2.univ-rennes1.fr not behaving correcly while retrieving rcpt to Invalid email address: 5
