Arguments: email-address
This function attempts to determine whether
email-address could be a valid email address on
the machine it names. email-address should be a
string like "user@machine.com".
test-email-address contacts
the mail server and uses the VRFY command from smtp and returns
t if the address is verified.
Some mail servers don't implement VRFY and
test-email-address also returns
t if VRFY doesn't work.
test-email-address returns nil if VRFY indicates the address is bad or if the
machine cannot be contacted (which might be a transient problem, of
course).
See imap.htm for more information.
