Initial Comment:
It seems the test "Check if Mailserver answer to VRFY and EXPN requests" 
produces false positives.

I get this:
'VRFY root' produces the following answer: 252 VRFY disabled 

Now VRFY is disabled on the mailserver in question (it's courier) and "VRFY 
disabled" seems exactly like it should be, so this test produces a false 
positive. Probably it somehow doesn't correctly parse the error message from 
the server.
