I can see how that would work fine for a forum, but this will be for a shopping cart. I know that there isn't a perfect solution - all I want would be to try to prevent someone from entering a blatantly wrong address. The other day, I had someone enter an address like sally...@yahoo.com. This morning, when I e-mailed her directly, it bounced back immediately as user unknown which means she didn't get her e-mail from the cart and I wasn't aware of that until now. It seems that all I'd need would be to check 1) if the domain is good and 2) whether or not the user has an account on that domain. I'll be checking out Email::Valid and Email::Verify::SMTP to see if either of these might prevent that type of scenario from happening again. Thanks again, Marc If you don't controll the domains, you won't be able to find if the email addresses really exist without sending the email.
