--- Comment #2 from Alexander van Loon <a.vanloon at alexandervanloon.nl> ---
To be honest I don't know, but I suspected that if a mail client sends some
requests to an SMTP server, for example credentials to log in, the SMTP server
should answer that request according to the SMTP protocol. If that is not the
case, doesn't that lead to the conclusion that either the address is invalid,
the server at that address is not an SMTP server, or that the SMTP server at
that address is temporarily down.

If it's not possible to determine that it's not an SMTP server, maybe the error
message could be made more helpful: 'The server could not be contacted at this
address, verify if the address is correct or try again later' or something like
that.
