I try to send a mail via php to an yahoo recipient. Every time I connect to yahoo I get a 250 status code for the recipient address, even if it doesn't exist. I found a script which get the correct status code from yahoo, but I cannot find the differences or mistakes I did in my script. I tried to send different commands and run the script on several servers, but I always get a 250 response for the RCPT-TO-command. Why do I don't get the correct response? I want to stop my script when a recipient doesn't exist! NOTE : vrpjrfvn3r111@yahoo.com --> email address not exist with yahoo Log of my script which gets the wrong response:
--------------------------------------------- Connect to h.mx.mail.yahoo.com 220 mta1144.mail.mud.yahoo.com ESMTP YSmtp service ready HELO my-domain.com 250 mta1144.mail.mud.yahoo.com (152.70 ms) MAIL FROM: 250 sender ok (723.29 ms) RCPT TO: 250 recipient ok (152.67 ms) Close socket connection Connection closed gracefully --------------------------
Why got same 250 response for valid or invalid or not exist yahoo email address from yahoo SMTP server and how to prevent this issue anyone have a soluiton of it?

  Hello :) This is simply how Yahoo's mail servers work. They issue that return code and accept the message even if the email address does not exist. The message is then handled by their mail servers. There's nothing you can change on your server to alter Yahoo's email policies. Thank you.
