Thanks for your reply, here's two more pieces of information to further the discussion.
1. When you use one of the many web based tools to "validate" an email address my email @tir.com it says it a "GOOD" email
2. When you Ping tir.com you get "Can't find host tir.com"
If Ping can't find a server, and SMTP relies on DNS to route mail how the heck does the email validating service declare it a "Good" address.
The only conclusion I can come to i that my belief that SMTP needs DNS to properly route a mail message is NOT True!!??
Any comments?
