hehe...thanks Doug...that's the parent site or verifyemail.com I did some testing and it's not all that accurate. I tested [EMAIL PROTECTED] (my address) and it verified it as real. Then I tested [EMAIL PROTECTED] and it said it was real.
Both those tests were performed without the "catch all" option selected. Cheers Bryan Stevenson B.Comm. VP & Director of E-Commerce Development Electric Edge Systems Group Inc. t. 250.920.8830 e.
