Hello Hugo,

I'm not aware of any tool which can test emails against an address file.
The most efficient approach to achieve this functionality is to write a
simple script which sends the SMTP VRFY command for each entry in an address
file.

Note that some mail servers do not support this command in order to thwart
spammers.

Subject: e-mail address mining tool?

Hello list.

First off all congratulate every one for always sharing their knowledge for
free and for the... well lets get to the point :) I'm wondering if any one
knows a tool that can gather email addresses of the users inside a domain,
from the email server.

For example:

When u connect to a mail server trough telnet
And u enter the commands

Helo
Mail from: xxxx@something.com
Rcpt to: xxxx@something.com
Etc.....

U can see if the address xxxx@something.com is a valid email.
I was thinking in something that uses like a dictionary off names and then
test all off them.

I was wondering if there is such tool so I don't have to reinvent the wheel.

I hope I make mi self clear.

Best regards
