<DefaultValueAttribute()>
Public Property TestAccount As String

[C#]
[DescriptionAttribute("Gets or sets a value that designates a test account to try prior to validating email addresses associated with a mail server.")]
[DefaultValueAttribute()]

[C++]
[DescriptionAttribute("Gets or sets a value that designates a test account to try prior to validating email addresses associated with a mail server.")]
[DefaultValueAttribute()]

public: __property void set_TestAccount( 
   string* value

[C++/CLI]
[DescriptionAttribute("Gets or sets a value that designates a test account to try prior to validating email addresses associated with a mail server.")]
[DefaultValueAttribute()]
public:
property String^ TestAccount {
   String^ get();
   void set (String^ value);
}

Return Type

The default value is an empty string, which indicates that no test should be performed.

Remarks

When validating a list of email addresses, validations are grouped according to mail server. Prior to validating the first address with any server, a test can be performed to see if the server always returns a positive response. This property dicates the test account to try.

The test account should be something that will not exist on any server. If a mail server validates the test account, the mail server will be added to the GreenList.

For example, if the TestAccount property is set to "anUniqueAccountNooneWouldHave," prior to validating email addresses at "myDomain.com," the first address checked would be "anUniqueAccountNooneWouldHave@myDomain.com".
