Smtp mailer = new Smtp();
mailer.SmtpServers.Add("mail.domain.com");
mailer.Connect();
mailer.Hello();
System.Collections.Specialized.StringDictionary caps = mailer.GetExtensions();
if (caps == null)
{
    Console.WriteLine("The given SMTP server does not support any ESMTP extensions");

{
    foreach (string cap in caps.Keys)
    {
        string val = caps[cap];
        if (val != string.Empty)

            // Print capability name and parameters.
            Console.WriteLine(cap + " " + val);
        }
        else
        {
            // For parameterless capabilities, print capability name only.
            Console.WriteLine(cap);
        }
