Unfortunately this is because Yahoo! always gives a positive response when you
try to verify an
email.
So it is not possible to validate emails with Yahoo! over SMTP.
There may be other solutions, but they would be out of the scope of this class.

I tried to validate yahoo address but its not always a positive result. I get a
lot
of invalid addresses.
The error codes that yahoo sends are 421 or 420 most of the time. Can these
codes
also be considered as valid addresses? This happens most of the time only with
yahoo
addresses.
I tested this for a single valid mail address running in a loop for 15 times,
and
sending a request after 5 sec each. Out of these it returned 250 4 times, 421 10
times, and 420 1 time.

I believe the code will have to refactored to return the status code instead of
a
boolean. It can then be matched to an array of return values which you consider
success
or not, so sucess codes can be configurable.
If you have any ideas, or other suggestion regarding this please comment.

I think I had already changed the code to get the smtp status codes instead of
boolean, but was wondering if its a yahoo's issue that it sends 420 or 421 or
sometimes even 250 for emails such as
sdfsdfsjzfnksfjnsdjfhsdfksdsdfsdfsdxsgs@yahoo.com, for which if I send a mail I
get
back a mailer demon failure mail with smtp code 554 from yahoo. I know not much
can
be done if its yahoo's issue, but just was wondering if its yahoo's issue or
anything
could be changed.
