From looking at the forum header I was clear if it meant to cover sendmail (as in sending mail) issues in general...

Sendmail in this case is the name of a program, not the act of sending email. As such, you are accidentally in the wrong location to be asking these questions.

I'm willing to try to help you solve your issue(s), however they should be done out side of this news group.

Thanks for the above pointers, which are definitely beyond my scope of knowledge, hence the initial post. I will be googling some of the concepts you mentioned above.

*nod* Drop me a direct email if you would like to discuss things.

To be more specific, I am using Win XP SP2 with PostCast (a relatively light SMTP server, and from time to time I use minirelay from the command line)

I can't say as if I've heard of them, so I can not comment on them.

I also discovered after posting that VRFY (or the lack of support) is not present in MTA, I downloaded PuTTy in order t access a robust Telnet client... but my initial tries at VRFY have been futile, but I am certain is my syntax.. I will repost this thread on a more appropriate forum..

The VRFY ESMTP verb is often either not implemented or has been disabled for security / anti-spam reasons. It is entirely possible that the SMTP server you are trying to use them with does not support it and / or has it disabled.

If you would like to continue discussing this, please reply to me directly.
