The module's author apparantly decided not to assume a bad address if the server cannot be reached.

And, if you want to prevent legal addresses being rejected, it's a good assumption too. An unreachable SMTP server doesn't necessarily mean that the e-mail address is invalid.

I agree, completely. The only value I see in discarding an email address due to CU_SMTP_UNREACHABLE is when checking from the same IP address from which the email will be sent (e.g. routing and/or blocking issues) for email that is worthless if delayed. (Some kind of alert email, perhaps?).	[reply]
