Re^4: How to find and print my smtp server name in perlby afoken (Chancellor) |

You are right. But sometimes, you may have some luck:
For each candidate, try to connect to the SMTP server on ports 587/tcp (submission) and 25/tcp (smtp). (Occasionally, I've found LAN mail servers with a brute force nmap scan, scanning for servers with at least one of the two ports open. But don't do that without permission from the network admin, and never in foreign networks!) Alexander
