Is there a way using a dll or something? vdsipp.dll, vdsinet.dll ??
To verify if an email address exisits or is valid, without sending the recepient a load of emails?
I know how to check if a domain exisits using vdsdns.dll...

There's really no way to tell... some e-mail accounts may even work
without even being a true e-mail account, forwarding the mail or you
may have the mail forwarded all to one true box with the catch-all alias.
Any other suggestions anyone? _________________ FreezingFire

Well, it is possible to validate email addresses from a given mailing list. I haven't done this myself,
but I sometimes use a program that connects directly to receiver's SMTP server and checks the
address. Nothing is sent to the recipient in the validation process - rather it tries to connect with
SMTP servers and simulates the sending of message. It does not send an actual message and
disconnects as soon as the mail server informs the addresses exist or not.
