Usage: smtp-user-enum [options] ( -u username | -U file-of-usernames ) ( -t host | -T file-of-targets )

options are:
        -m n     Maximum number of processes (default: 5)

                 Use this option when you want to guess valid email addresses instead of just usernames
                 e.g. "-D example.com" would guess [email protected], [email protected], etc.  Instead of 
                      simply the usernames foo and bar.
