If you're getting that far with smtp.foodbroker.co.uk you're doing better than me[1]. It doesn't necessarily mean that the user exists, but does mean that the server didn't reject the message during the SMTP conversation as one would expect during based on the error message reported:
> > > > > MSEXCH:IMS:KAO:AJC:KAO-AJC-WEB2 3550 (000B09AA) 550 > > > > > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>... User unknown You might try turning up protocol logging on the IMS and resending the message to see exactly what machine is rejecting the message.
