SMTP test

[Nadir]

Hello all,

Could you tell me how exactly works smtp test without "perform VRFY"?
Wthat's command that AHM send to smpt server and what's the differece with "perform VRFY"

Quote from manual:

Perform 'VRFY' test
When checked, the test performs will include the verify ('VRFY') command, which is a complete test of the server's user database and its ability to respond to client requests. When this field is not checked, HostMonitor will log on to the mail server and then log off, but will not issue the "VRFY" command as part of the test. Skipping this command provides nearly the same level of server monitoring, since logging on and off effectively verifies that the mail server is accepting connections.
For mail servers that support the "VRFY" command, and have it enabled, we suggest that you use the complete test. However, some mail servers do not support the "VRFY" command, so turning this check off is required. In addition, for security reasons, the "VRFY" command is sometimes disabled on some servers, again requiring that this extra test would be turned off.

See manual for more information, pls.
