Does not Work

[mailparikshit]

i tried your code on different servers
it returns false for valid email too

[sadortun]

Port 25 is often blocked by "cheap" hosting provider, and about all cloud provider

i have tested this on my different Dedicated server where in and out emails are working fine.
i have port 25 open, this is not tested on shared hosting, it is dedicated server.

i tried checking email of yahoo, gmail, hotmail, rediffmail, all of them returns false

can you re-test this code and see if this is still working

The code works as it should be. I tried it on several different dedicated and virtual servers too.

Can you set the debug property true and share the logs?

Thanks for taking the time to report your issue.

You'll have to provide more info before anyone can even attempt to try to help you.

You can try increasing the connection timeouts, but the most likely thing is that the remote server is just dropping your connections and completely ignoring you.

I'm gonna have to suggest that you read through #8 and #3
