Errors checking large lists inc Yahoo and Hotmail

[themainman]

ok smart little tool except the problems i see are as follows. Perhaps the admin can assist with these questions:

- because you cant use a proxy list, very quickly your port can be blocked from checking large amounts of mail ive noticed and thats presumably what happens when you get the cant check errors after a while

- related to the above you dont have any timing settings so you cant react to the MX telling you to back off

- i know it cant detect Yahoo as they wont tell you but what about Hotmail/MSN/Live?

-does the program dump to a file somewhere so if it crashes you dont loose all your hard work?

Do you mean the port 25?

Hum... What do you mean?

- i know it cant detect Yahoo as they wont tell you but what about Hotmail/MSN/Live?

Same for those. They will always tell you the address is good.

-does the program dump to a file somewhere so if it crashes you dont loose all your hard work?

Not yet!... but I take note.

yes Im talking about Port25. how can you prevent it being blocked for too many lookups

Doing less lookups. It looks like a stupid answer but it is the answer. You could also change the DNS server address regularly...
