BestConnectionOptions Method

Returns a list of the default options excluding options that cannot be performed. The SMTP Port (normally 25) must be open to do a SMTP connect or mailbox check. Must be connected to the internet to do an MxRecord lookup. This effectively performs the greatest possible validation depending on the local machines connection capabilities.
