Magdy,
I just connected to your server and attempted to send an email to some 'bad'
addresses and IMail responded correctly (see excerpt below).
220 X1 NT-ESMTP Server purenet.com.eg (IMail 6.00 3448-3)
vrfy root
252 Cannot VRFY user
mail from: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
250 ok
rcpt to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
550 not local host ipswitch.com, not a gateway
rcpt to : [EMAIL PROTECTED]
550 not local host purenet.com.ag, not a gateway
rcpt to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
250 ok its for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
rcpt to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
550 unknown user <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
So I wonder if you are not telling us all we need to know to understand your
troubles?!
Maybe if you tell us exactly what you are doing and what the responses are,
that would help us understand where you are encountering the trouble.
