Hotmail false negative result.
kevinkara opened this issue · comments
Just tested the code on win2012 server, IIS8
All domains work good but hotmail!
is there any trick for hotmail or the code just can not handle hotmail?
test email is test1qaz1qaz@hotmail.com
this is my valid test email
here is the dumped result from your code:
array(2) { ["test1qaz1qaz@hotmail.com"]=> bool(false) ["domains"]=> array(1) { ["hotmail.com"]=> array(2) { ["users"]=> array(1) { [0]=> string(12) "test1qaz1qaz" } ["mxs"]=> array(5) { ["mx3.hotmail.com"]=> int(5) ["mx4.hotmail.com"]=> int(5) ["mx1.hotmail.com"]=> int(5) ["mx2.hotmail.com"]=> int(5) ["hotmail.com"]=> int(0) } } } }
Thank you,
Kevin
Try to enable debug mode to get more information about the result. Just set $debug to true in the lib.
I enabled the debug mode and re-tested, results are below,
Thank you,

It seems you are blacklisted from Hotmail.
When you try a hotmail email does it work on your side?
Probably related: #3 (comment)
s/Yahoo/Hotmail
Here we go ,
I have tried on 3 different domains with different servers on different IPs and all get the same result.
yahoo, gmail, aol all works good. but still Hotmail does not
Can you confirm this email "test1qaz1qaz@hotmail.com" is being verified on your tests? , if you can verify, we can say something is wrong on MY tests.
And also is there a way or a tool to help to verify that hotmail blacklisted a domain or IP?
Thank you for all the help, you guys are great.
Yes, I can confirm that it works (when you connect from a properly configured, well maintained, guaranteed spam-free server/ip-range):
test code:
require 'smtp-validate-email.php';
$from = 'xxx@hotmail.com'; // for SMTP FROM:<> command
$email = 'test1qaz1qaz@hotmail.com';
$validator = new SMTP_Validate_Email($email, $from);
$validator->debug = true;
$smtp_results = $validator->validate();
var_dump($smtp_results);validate() results:
array(2) {
["test1qaz1qaz@hotmail.com"]=>
bool(true)
["domains"]=>
array(1) {
["hotmail.com"]=>
array(2) {
["users"]=>
array(1) {
[0]=>
string(12) "test1qaz1qaz"

}
}

For reference, when I run the same test code from a different server sitting on a different network, the results are almost identical to the ones you're seeing. Which was 100% expected.
More details and potential solutions have already been linked to: #3 (comment) .
The specific error I got from hotmail's MX was:
<<<recv: 550 OU-002 (BAY004-MC4F25) Unfortunately, messages from 94.253.xxx.yyy weren't sent. Please
contact your Internet service provider since part of their network is on our block list. You can al
so refer your provider to http://mail.live.com/mail/troubleshooting.aspx#errors.
P.S.
Thanks for taking the time to post your issue/questions and I hope the library serves you well!
