You CAN make a browser go to another server, but there's no way to receive information from it.
Its possible there's some hacky way to figure something out, but this is just doomed to failure, because email servers don't have to be webservers, and vice versa. For example, there are still loads of servers that don't direct FOOBAR.com port 80 to the webserver, only www.FOOBAR.com. And yet email address are virtually always [EMAIL PROTECTED] and not [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thus, the answer is not only - no, you can't do this, but the answer is: No, you're Doing It Wrong. You don't validate email addresses by checking if there's a webserver running on it. If you must check it... you send an email to it, with a link in it.
