How to read the result as valid or invalid.

[Wmas]

75% of the tested email addresses (existing and correct, existing but incorrect) gives the same $smtp_results array (except the address of course).

I have tried to use the $smtp_results[$email] which in some cases when the email address is correct will be equal to 1:

Array
(
    [[e-mail]] => 1
    [domains] => Array
        (
            [entrustrock.nl] => Array
                (
                    [users] => Array
                        (
                            [0] => info
                        )

                    [mxs] => Array
                        (
                            [entrustrock.nl] => 0
                        )

                )

        )

)

But as described here above with some others correct addresses it will be empty and it will flag it as incorrect.

Can you please add in the read me file an example which will describe how we can use the returned array to detect if an email address is valid on invalid?

I'm having a hard time understanding the question...

If/when $smtp_results[$email] does not equal a truthy value, it means that email is considered invalid for whatever reason (there could be many reasons).

You can try setting public debug = true; within the class (https://github.com/zytzagoo/smtp-validate-email/blob/master/smtp-validate-email.php#L83) or just do $validator->debug = true; before calling validate().

That way you'll hopefully see exactly what happens and how/why an address ends up being marked as (in)valid.

Does that help?

Thank you for your reply.
