Chubler_XL, thank you for the guidance.

I have previously tried something like that, and was still unable to set the variable. I am not sure where you place following.

Code:
puts stderr "ACCESS denied validation UNSUCCESSFUL"
puts -nonewline "FAILED"

was this on the parent bash script or the child expect script?

I have had similar result. I can print variable with the child, however the parent variable is blank.

here is what i have so far.

Code:
	#!/bin/bash
#script for email validation
emaillist=emaillist1.txt
#emaillist=client.csv
SMTPport=25

clear
echo "---------------------------------------------------------------------"
echo "Now performing email validations.......... Please be patient."
echo "---------------------------------------------------------------------"
echo ""
echo ""

header="%-20s %-20s %-10s %-20s %10s\n"
body="%-20s %-20s %-10s %-20s %10s\n"


printf "$header" "E-mail" "Domain" "F-Name" "L-Name" "Status"
printf "$header" "_______________" "____________________" "__________" "____________________" "____________________"


while read line; do
	userinfo=$(echo $line | sed 's/@/,/')
	IFS=',' read -a address <<< "$userinfo"
	userid="${address[0]}"
	domain="${address[1]}"
	fname="${address[2]}"
	lname="${address[3]}"
	#status=vvv
	SMTPlist=$(host $domain | grep "handled by" | awk '{print $7}' | sed 's/\.$//' )
	address=("${address[@]}" $SMTPlist)
	
	status=$(/usr/bin/expect << EOF
	#exp_internal 1
	set timeout 1
	#set echo on
	log_user 0
	
	spawn telnet ${address[4]} $SMTPport
	expect "220"

	send "helo $domain\r"
	expect "service"

	send "mail from: <mickeymouse@disney.com>\r"
	expect "250"

	send "rcpt to: <$userid@$domain>\r"
	expect {
		"250" 	{
				set status $expect_out(buffer)
				puts -nonewline "$status"
				puts stderr "validation SUCCESSFUL"
				puts -nonewline "SUCCESS"
				}
		"230" {send_user "ACCESS denied validation UNSUCCESSFUL\n"}
		"550" {send_user "$userid@$domain validation UNSUCCESSFUL\n"}		
		"553" {send_user "Requested action nottaken validation UNSUCCESSFUL\n"}		
	}
	
	send "quit"
	expect "closed"
EOF
)

echo "status is ------ $status"
printf "$body" "$userid" "$domain" "$fname" "$lname" "$status"
 done < $emaillist

However the Parent variable is still blank.

again. thanks for the assistance.

RBASH(1)						      General Commands Manual							  RBASH(1)

NAME
rbash - restricted bash, see bash(1) RESTRICTED SHELL
If bash is started with the name rbash, or the -r option is supplied at invocation, the shell becomes restricted. A restricted shell is used to set up an environment more controlled than the standard shell. It behaves identically to bash with the exception that the follow- ing are disallowed or not performed: o changing directories with cd o setting or unsetting the values of SHELL, PATH, ENV, or BASH_ENV o specifying command names containing / o specifying a file name containing a / as an argument to the . builtin command o specifying a filename containing a slash as an argument to the -p option to the hash builtin command o importing function definitions from the shell environment at startup o parsing the value of SHELLOPTS from the shell environment at startup o redirecting output using the >, >|, <>, >&, &>, and >> redirection operators o using the exec builtin command to replace the shell with another command o adding or deleting builtin commands with the -f and -d options to the enable builtin command o using the enable builtin command to enable disabled shell builtins o specifying the -p option to the command builtin command o turning off restricted mode with set +r or set +o restricted. These restrictions are enforced after any startup files are read. When a command that is found to be a shell script is executed, rbash turns off any restrictions in the shell spawned to execute the script. SEE ALSO
