Razzak: Thanks for the links! I looked at both the FAQs and the Help Manual, including the chart of SMTP error codes found in the latter. It appears from the SMTP codes that the errors generated are all server-type of errors, and my conclusion (because I couldn't find an exact reference elsewhere) is that the error variable does not trap whether there was an invalid email address or not.

RMail95 VarName|SEND VarName is the resulting text variable which will return the status of the email process, such as 'OK' or the exact -ERROR- message. This return value is where one can capture the delivery status of the email after the SEND parameter is issued. In addition, all SMTP Error Codes, Messages and Descriptions are explained under SMTP Error Codes. Very Best R:egards, Razzak. www.rbase.com www.facebook.com/rbase
