I believe IMail has VRFY off by default (ON could be used by
spammer as a method of harvesting email addresses), these days,
but the SMTP Security setting "Disable SMTP "VRFY" command "
allows it to be turned on or off.

Hard to say if yours is on or off...:
220 ei8htlegs.net (IMail 9.21 416990-3) NT-ESMTP Server X1
ehlo ipswitch.com
250-ei8htlegs.net says hello

250-AUTH LOGIN CRAM-MD5
250-AUTH LOGIN
250-AUTH=LOGIN
250 EXPN
vrfy [EMAIL PROTECTED]
530 user must authenticate on this port

...As it appears to need SMTP AUTH at this point and I don't have
the info...

VRFY is not an ESMTP option, so it is not advertised. It is basic
SMTP, so is supported, when enabled.
Do you have SMTP and SMTP AUTH ports swapped?

Here is telnet to my test server:
220 dhaynes2.servers.ipswitch.com (IMail 9.20 6903-1) NT-ESMTP
Server X1
vrfy [EMAIL PROTECTED]
550 not local host ei8htlegs.net, not a gateway
vrfy root
250 ok its for <root>

What does the Barracuda support? Could use IMail's LDAP to check
for users or something like a text file (exported from IMail,
using its tools) that gets updated on a regular basis... Or if
your ports are swapped, maybe you can tell it to talk to IMail on
the other port?

Subject: [IMail Forum] IMail 9.21 not showing VFRY?


Hey All,

I have a Barracuda 400 that does some spam filtering for our
clients and in talking to Barracuda, it seems that it no longer
uses the VFRY method.  Therefore the cuda is not able to verify
the email address is valid.  Does anyone know why this is or if
maybe I have something setup wrong?

NOTE: I have a IMGate system in from that does this already,
however the cuda has some old accounts on it that I cannot have
it remove as it says all accounts are valid.  However I know some
are not valid any longer as the accounts have been deleted.

Anyway, I need to know why VFRY no longer is an option...

Here is an example for telnetting to my server.

telnet mail.ei8htlegs.net 25
Trying 64.184.24.60...
Connected to mail.ei8htlegs.net (64.184.24.60).
Escape character is '^]'.

ehlo
250-ei8htlegs.net says hello

250-DSN
250-ETRN

Thanks,
