Description
-----------

Advanced Mail List Verify (AMV) - program for mail lists verifying to
determine which of addresses in mail list are dead. The program works on
the same algorithm as ISP mail systems do. Mail servers addresses for 
e-mail are extracted from DNS. AMV tries to connect with found SMTP-servers
and simulates the sending of message. It does not come to the message
sending - AMV disconnect as soon as mail server informs does this address
exist or not. The program is multithreaded, that provides high speed of
verifying. Socks5 proxy support for LAN users.


Installation
------------

Important! If you've got AMV not from our web page, but from
the other source (magazine CD or some software library), please
visit our home page - you'll probably find the later version;
usually, we release the updates about once a month.

To install AMV, just run the "setup.exe" and follow the
instructions. You'll need to select the target directory
and the components to install.
