UpdateMembershipRecord Script - smtp error ..

I was able to install civimail (with all the php & perl custom builds) and get it to work as well as civimembership. However, I have an outstanding issue with running the UpdateMembershipRecord script - one that I have been able to resolve manually.

As per Lobo's request in the Forums, i'm posting an issue here so that it can be fixed in the 2.1 release. See -
http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php?topic=4383.new;topicseen#new

Details related to the SMTP transaction are below. There is a bug in civicrm. Specifically - email fields with incomplete addresses (ie. no @ or anything after it) lead to the script stopping. I mention this, as when I removed the entry with the incomplete email address - the script then worked fine.

Thus -recommend that email field is OK before sending it out via the update script. If there's a problem skip it - instead of halting the whole script.
