PROBLEM:
When doing "extended" email address tests, some mail gateways reject all
recipient checks when the MAIL FROM field is empty.
I have confirmed this on the following email addresses:
@rbcdexia-is.com
@Tridel.com
@rjsinvestments.com
WORKAROUND:
I hacked your package to simply use the email address to be tested (RCPT
TO) as the MAIL FROM address. In all three cases this worked and
returned a 0 value (success).
Ideally, there should be a way to pass in a second email address for
this purpose, however simulating the sender sending to him/her self is a
quick fix. Hopefully, it doesn't cause other mail gateways any grief.
Thanks
Keith
