Hey all,
I'm going to make an option for people to add email adresses to a database. I know how to validate them stringwise ( something@something.com). I would however like to check if they exist, without confronting the user with some sort of registration email. Is there a way to see if an email bounces without sending something to the user? Thanks, Tim |

A good article on email validation in PHP is located at
http://www.zend.com/zend/spotlight/ev12apr.php. It wouldn't be that hard to extend the functionality into whatever language you're using.
