in thread getting SMTP failure codes

My only improvement would be to loop on the call to 'recipient( )' and capture the results yourself. Please see below. 'recipient( )' does this internally, anyway. Good luck. -c 

#test_mail.pl

use Net::SMTP;
use Net::Cmd;

$smtp = Net::SMTP->new(
        Host => '192.168.55.173',
        Debug => 1,
        );
die "Did not connect to host..." unless defined($smtp);  #you can remo
+ve this, so it would die w/ your address
$smtp -> mail("root\@test-server.my.home");
@good = ();
@bad  = ();
@mess = ();
foreach $toadr (('good_address@my.home','bad_address@my.home')) { 
    if ($smtp -> recipient( $toadr,{ SkipBad => 0, Notify => ['FAILURE
+']})) {; #make result boolean, 1 ::= good
       push( @good, $toadr );
    } else {
       push( @bad,  $toadr );   
       push( @mess, $smtp->message() );
    }
}
$smtp -> data();
$smtp -> datasend("TO: good_address@my.home\n");
$smtp -> datasend("TO: bad_address@my.home\n");
$smtp -> datasend("SUBJECT: Test e-mail from root\n");
$smtp -> datasend("\n");
$smtp -> datasend("A test message.\n");
$smtp -> dataend();

print "These address(es) went: @good\n";
print "These address(es) were bad \[ and why \]:\n";
for (0..$#bad) {
    print "$bad[$_]  \[ $mess[$_] \]\n";
}
$smtp -> quit();

    For some reason I was thinking that if I looped on them that it would take longer. But I timed it and the results are about the same (at least on my network & mail server). If recipient() is doing the same thing, then of course it wouldn't matter. (And I should have been able to figure that out from the debug output anyway!)

    So populating an array with the addresses, and then running a foreach loop on the array of addresses would get me where I want to go.

    Thanks for the clue!
