  11. This is yet another topic to bother Hunter with (which is not
  12. extraordinarily high on my wish list, but...).
  13.  
  14. Are there any plans to support any form of user interface of commands for
  15. the SMTP_Server in MX?  One of the feature supported by quite a few sites
  16. is the VRFY command (as well as HELP), which can be reached via TELNETting
  17. to port 25 and handling things interactively.  This is nice for verifying
  18. things for list owners (among other things).  Presently, MX doesn't appear
  19. to support anything along these lines.  Has anyone overcome this, have I
  20. missed something somewhere, is this to be supported in future a release?
  21.  
  22. Regards,   George
