Razzak: Thanks for the links! I looked at both the FAQs and the
Help Manual,
including the chart of SMTP error codes found in the latter. It appears from
the SMTP codes that the errors generated are all server-type of errors, and
my conclusion (because I couldn't find an exact reference elsewhere) is that
the error variable does not trap whether there was an invalid email address
or not.
R:Mail 9.5 is designed and intended to "Send" secure e-mails, with or without
any attachments, keep a log, check status, capture SMTP -ERRORs-, if any, BUT
not to validate e-mail addresses. The SMTP server will receive the bounced
mail with invalid addresses.
The person in-charge of maintaining the e-mail should be responsible to keep
everything up-to-date. Someone has to take on that responsibility, not R:BASE.
Having said that, there are tools and online services available to validate
e-mail addresses, such as:

Refer to FAQs and Help Manual.
RMail95 VarName|SEND
VarName is the resulting text variable which will return the status
of the email
process, such as 'OK' or the exact -ERROR- message. This return value is where
one can capture the delivery status of the email after the SEND parameter is
issued.
In addition, all SMTP Error Codes, Messages and Descriptions are
explained under
SMTP Error Codes.
