You cannot pass a full email address to Verify(), it only accepts a
username, so you have to connect directly to the SMTP server that the email
address belongs to.  If the email address does not belong to the same domain
as your own SMTP server, then you will have to strip off the domain portion
of the email address, then perform an DNS lookup to get the MX record for
the domain, and then finally use the returned address as the Host.  So, for
example, if you want to verify 'joe@smoe.com', you have to do an MX lookup
for the 'smoe.com' domain, the connect to the returned address, and then
finally call Verify('joe').

Do note, however, that many servers do not actually implement the VRFY
command (which the command that Verify() sends).  In this case, you will not
be able to verify the address at all before sending it.  You will just have
to proceed with sending the message and catch any rejection errors that may
occur.

UserID is not used with Verify()
