SmtpClient.EndTestRecipients Method

Ends a pending asynchronous test.

[Visual Basic]
Public Sub EndTestRecipients( _
    ar As SmtpClientAsyncResult _
)

[C#]
public void EndTestRecipients(
    SmtpClientAsyncResult ar
);

[C++]
public: void EndTestRecipients(
    SmtpClientAsyncResult* ar
);

[JScript]
public function EndTestRecipients( 
    ar : SmtpClientAsyncResult
);

Parameters

Remarks

How does it work? Firstly, SmtpClient performs a DNS MX record query. If it retrieves the recipient's local SMTP server successfully, SmtpClient will try to connect to this server. SmtpClient then performs "RCPT TO" command to test if this SMTP server accept this email address. 

Please always pass null (Nothing in Visual Basic) to SmtpServer paramter in BeginTestRecipients and TestRecipients methods except you want to test whether an email address will be accepted by a specified SMTP server.
