I guess Yahoo. He is sending single character email id which is actually not supported.
C isn't that hard: void (*(*f[])())() defines f as an array of unspecified size, of pointers to functions that return pointers to functions that return void "Always program as if the person who will be maintaining your program is a violent psychopath that knows where you live." - Martin Golding

It would appear that the local-part of the address cannot be a single character. There MAY be a requirement that the address have at least 2 characters. You can test this yourself just by adding various addresses to the
Toproperty and see what happens. You do this WITHOUT actually sending the message! Now, if that works, the limit appears to be imposed by Yahoo's mail server, in which case, there's nothing you can do about it, unless you try using a different SMTP server.A guide to posting questions on CodeProject[^]

You've already added the appropriate reference, otherwise the code wouldn't even compile. It would appear that the server is rejecting your attempts to send mail.
