=head1 NAME

Mail::VRFY - Utility to verify an email address

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Mail::VRFY;

  my $code = Mail::VRFY::CheckAddress($emailaddress);

  my $code = Mail::VRFY::CheckAddress(addr    => $emailaddress,
                                      method  => 'extended',
                                      timeout => 12,
                                      debug   => 0);

  my $english = Mail::VRFY::English($code);

	
=head1 DESCRIPTION

C<Mail::VRFY> was derived from Pete Fritchman's L<Mail::Verify>.
Lots of code has been plucked.  This package attempts to be
completely compatibile with Mail::Verify.

C<Mail::VRFY> provides a C<CheckAddress> function for verifying email
addresses.  Lots can be checked, according to the C<method> option,
as described below.

C<Mail::VRFY> differs from L<Mail::Verify> in that:

A.  More granular control over what kind of checks to run
    (via the method option).

B.  Email address syntax checking is much more stringent.

C.  After making a socket to an authoritative SMTP server,
    we can start a SMTP conversation, to ensure the
    mailserver does not give a failure on RCPT TO.

D.  More return codes.

=head1 CONSTRUCTOR

=over 4

=item CheckAddress( [ADDR] [,OPTIONS] );

If C<ADDR> is not given, then it may instead be passed as the C<addr>
option described below.

C<OPTIONS> are passed in a hash like fashion, using key and value
pairs.  Possible options are:

B<addr> - The email address to check

B<method> - Which method of checking should be used:

   syntax - check syntax of email address only (no network testing).

   compat - check syntax, DNS, and MX connectivity (i.e. Mail::Verify)

   extended - compat + talk SMTP to see if server will reject RCPT TO

B<timeout> - Number of seconds to wait for data from remote host (Default: 12).
   this is a per-operation timeout, meaning there is a separate timeout on
   a DNS query, and each smtp conversation.

B<debug> - Print debugging info to STDERR (0=Off, 1=On).

=head1 RETURN VALUE

Here are a list of return codes and what they mean:

=over 4

=item 0 The email address appears to be valid.

=item 1 No email address was supplied.

=item 2 There is a syntactical error in the email address.

=item 3 There are no MX or A DNS records for the host in question.

=item 4 There are no SMTP servers accepting connections.

=item 5 All SMTP servers are misbehaving and wont accept mail.

=item 6 All the SMTP servers temporarily refused mail.

=item 7 One SMTP server permanently refused mail to this address.

This module provides an English sub that will convert the code to
English for you.

=back

=head1 EXAMPLES

  use Mail::VRFY;
  my $email = shift;
  unless(defined($email)){
    print "email address to be tested: ";
    chop($email=<STDIN>);
  }
  my $code = Mail::VRFY::CheckAddress($email);
  my $english = Mail::VRFY::English($code);
  if($code){
    print "Invalid email address: $english  (code: $code)\n";
  }else{
    print "$english\n";
  }

=head1 CAVEATS

A SMTP server can reject RCPT TO at SMTP time, or it can accept all
recipients, and send bounces later.  All other things being equal,
Mail::VRFY will not detect the invalid email address in the latter case.

Greylisters will cause you pain; look out for return code 6.  Some
users will want to deem email addresses returning code 6 invalid,
others valid, and others will set up a queing mechanism to try again
later.

=head1 RESTRICTIONS

Email address syntax checking does not conform to RFC2822, however, it
will work fine on email addresses as we usually think of them.
(do you really want:

"Foo, Bar" <test((foo) b`ar baz)@example(hi there!).com>

to be considered valid ?)
