Same question, when do you get that error?

I get it the moment i enter my first email to test- it shows error 22. See screen-shot.
I tested to see if port 25 was open (common problem it seems you mention in your help files). The telnet command I run says Connection refused, but my ISP provider INSISTS port 25 is open.
I am not sure if error 22 is connected to this but its the only thing I have to go on

Can you send me the response you get when checking for port 25 blocking?

What does Error #22, Valid (R22), Valid (R19), Valid (R17), Valid (R16), Valid (R12), and Looks Valid mean? It would be nice if EMV had a code list available. I've scrubbed this list of 15,000+ names about 10 times and each time it comes up with more of these messages using the newly scrubbed list. I have tried GoDaddy Email Express and now Constant Contact and both have canceled the accounts from too many bad addresses. That is why I bought EMV to get rid of those! Help please. This email campaign needs to get out for my client asap.

Error #22 means the SMTP server xxx is not responding, sometimes because port 25 is blocked by your ISP. In such case you should check that. It is explained here.

Valid (R22) means the addresses has been validated by rule #22, rules are inside the eMail Verifier preferences. It is explained here.

Hello,
I always have the error #22 since I try to make email verifier work properly.
I contacted my Internet Provider who certified the access to port 25 was enabled.
I made several tests, with / without firewall, with without router : all lead to the same result : error #22
and a process that never completes

This is the DNS server response:

Do you have any advice? I'm interested in Max Bulk mailer and wish to buy it with the e mail adress verification fuction. Greetings, Marc

Have you tried to connect to the server with Telnet? Launch Terminal and write:

telnet SMTP_SERVER_ADDRESS_HERE 25

What do you get?

I tried those 2 commands in Terminal:
1)
MacBook-Pro-2-de-Marc-Zischka:~ marczischka1$ telnet 195.146.236.100 25
Trying 195.146.236.100...
telnet: connect to address 195.146.236.100: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host
and
2)
MacBook-Pro-2-de-Marc-Zischka:~ marczischka1$ telnet 195.146.236.100:25
195.146.236.100:25: nodename nor servname provided, or not known
since i'm not very aware of unix commands, do you think i typped the correct sequence? The server adress, is the DNS server adress my ISP gave me.

Then Using your support section, I tried:
MacBook-Pro-2-de-Marc-Zischka:~ marczischka1$ telnet smtp.nordnet.fr 25
Trying 194.206.126.239...
Connected to smtp.nordnet.fr.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 smtp.nordnet.fr ESMTP
This seems to work ?

Tanks, Marc

Try

telnet smtp.maxprog.com 25

That's the result;
MacBook-Pro-2-de-Marc-Zischka:~ marczischka1$ telnet smtp.maxprog.com 25
Trying 209.68.5.64...
telnet: connect to address 209.68.5.64: Connection refused
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host
MacBook-Pro-2-de-Marc-Zischka:~ marczischka1$

It looks like port 25 is blocked by your Internet Provider. It is explained here:How to find out whether port 25 is blocked by your ISP?.

Sorry for the 2 week interuption.
The provider said that if I can send mails, then port 25 works. Also, the intent on the smtp server of the provider (nordnet) seems to work, wich is not the case on the try with tne maxprog smtp server. They told me the control of port 25 is only possible on the ISP's smtp server. Thay also proposed to establish contact with you to solve the problem. Greetings,

A new try of email verifier using the SMTP IP adress from the (positive) telnet test gave the following result:
; <<>> DiG 9.6.0-APPLE-P2 <<>> @194.206.126.239 ecologik-business.com mx
; (1 server found)
;; global options: +cmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
looks like the server can't understand the email verifier contact
there is no error #22, but "Failed test"

Have you tried to enter DNS server addresses into the eMail Verifier preference panel? Try 8.8.8.8 and 4.4.4.4

Thanks for the tip. With the first try I get an Error #22 :
