I've been developing for curl and libcurl for about 12 months now (since
v7.21.7) and kind of look after the SMTP and POP3 modules after adding a
fair bit of functionality to both of them, however, some of the other guys
around here are more experienced than me and maybe able to give you a better
answer.

I'm kind of guessing what the problem might be at the moment as it largely
depends what your mail server returns in response the MAil RCPT command.

Are you able to generate verbose logging with Curl_easy_setopt(curl,
CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1) and post the results?

Cheers

Steve
