Query Exchange 2003 for valid SMTP Address

I am writing an application that needs to email to specific users on our
Exchange server and need to query it to see if the SMTP address I will be
sending to exists. The application will be running on the same server as
the Exchange Server. Environment is W2003 SP2 Exchange 2003 SP1.

Allowing the email to bounce is not an option.

Thanks in Advance,
Mike Ober.

Hi,

You could issue SMTP command VRFY against SMTP server. I guess exchange
supports it...

In an Exchange environment, a user can have several SMTP email addresses in addition to their default SMTP address. When querying the "mail" property of a user, only the default SMTP address is returned. How can all of a user's Exchange SMTP email addresses be returned? Thanks,

Hi all, I have no knowledge of Exchange server, and have always used CDO to send emails from ASP in the past. My problem now is that the server in question doesn't have SMTP installed alongside IIS, it has Exchange installed which apparantly does have SMTP capabilities but not like the default ones normally accessbile via IIS. Has anyone ever used this approach to sending emails? I'm hoping that I dont need a component or anything...

I have some ideas that I would like to try in eliminating DoS, unwanted SMTP connections/sessions, etc. to my Exchange server.

If so,...

Does anyone know how to go about viewing/changing/adding/deleting an Active Directory/Exchange 2003 user's e-mail address. If you pull up a user in AD Users and Computers and click on the E-mail Addresses tab I would like to manipulate some of the smtp addresses listed there, using a VB script or VB.Net program.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
