I mentioned in the Notes section in README.md that some servers choose to always return "valid" for any email address. Unfortunately this is beyond anybody's control (other than the server target mail server itself) The reason they do that is to prevent spammers (and others) from using "brute force" to generate a list of all email accounts on that server.

So there is no solution for that.
