Hi Claude, I use CFX_validEmail. Sample code below. It is reliable, but because of the time outs it can take a long time on large tables.
Some stuff in the code related to how I was using it, of course, but I think it will help rather than hinder so I've left it intact. Hope this helps, Jenny <CFX_ValidEmail QUERY="QUERY_NAME " COLUMN="EMAIL_TO_CHECK " IDCOLUMN="ID_COLUMN " NAME="results" MXTIMEOUT="5" SMTPTIMEOUT="5" FROMADDRESS="s...@email.com " MXLOOKUP USEMXCACHE USESMTPCHK CLEARMXCACHE> <cfdump var="#results#"> <cfoutput query="results"> <cfquery datasource="#application.dsn#"> update tbl_members set emailVerify = '#results.smtpchk#', emailVerifyMessage = '#results.SMTPRESPONSE#' <cfif results.smtpchk is "yes"> , emailverified = '#results.address#', emailVerifyDate = getdate() </cfif> where memberID = #results.idcolumn# </cfquery> </cfoutput> -----Original Message----- From: Claude Schnéegans <schneeg...@internetique.com> [mailto:=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Claude_Schn=E9egans <schneegans@interneti=71?= =?ISO-8859-1?Q?ue.com=3E?=] Sent: 10 October 2013 19:26 To: cf-talk Subject: Check an email domain Hi, I just lost about 2 hours digging in my mail server logs to find why a user did not get his message sent by CF to finally find out the guy entered a typo in his domain name... So, I know that verifying that an email address exists is utopic, but verifying that at least some mail server exists for a certain domain name would have saved me 2 hours this morning! Is someone aware of some tool that will check for a mail server from CF?
