Example

The following example populates a ListBox control with the host names of those servers responsible for accepting e-mail for the specified domain:

[Visual Basic]
Dim nIndex As Integer
 
ListBox1.Items.Clear()
dnsClient.HostName = strHostName
 
For nIndex = 0 To dnsClient.MailExchanges - 1
    ListBox1.Items.Add(dnsClient.MailExchange(nIndex))
Next
