3. The tab panel at the bottom gives access to the overall results and statistics (picture above), the detailed SMTP server response and the DNS lookup details of each address in the list and the connection log. The second panel enables you to get more information about what happened during the DNS lookup and the SMTP connection. Just use the corresponding radio button to get the information displayed.

4. The third panel is the connection log. It allows you to see the exact communication between eMail Verifier and the server. Each line starts with the threaded connection number '[xx]', then the date and time followed by the command sent by eMail Verifier preceded with '>' or the server answer starting with a 3-digits response code. You don't actually need to understand the connection log to use the software. It is just here in case you care about it.

5. The document lets you select between two testing options, Single email and Email list file. Use the radio button to select the right option depending on your needs. Once you a re ready to verify your addresses, press the Run Test button.

eMail Verifier

Type an email address or load a list from a file stored on your hard disk. If you need to verify a single email address, just type it as is (ex. name@domain.com). If what you want is to verify a list, select the 'Email list file' radio button. If the list on screen is empty you will be automatically asked to select a file. If it is not the case, press the 'Load List' or the 'Select...' button. A file selector will let you choose the file. eMail Verifier then loads the selected file adding all entries to the list on screen. Free to try it.
