The Windows program lies.  You cannot do it.  It doesn't matter what
programming language you use.  Thank the spammers for removing some of
the utility of the net, but there were also always addresses that
could not be verified.

Octavian> I can use that program for verifying the email addresses,

No.   You can't.  Not conclusively.
