That is simply impossible. For reasons many other people have explained, there is no way to verify an address other than to send it a message and ask the recipient to confirm it. To emphasize a point other people have made, even if there were some other way to verify that an address exists, which there is not, you do not know whether that address actually belongs to the putative end user, and in many cases it will not. Perhaps it will help to say, they probably ask for a postal address, too. How can you be sure that the address you have is the end user's actual address? Many post offices have a service to verify that the address exists, but they can't tell you who lives there. Who signed this agreement? They put you in an impossible position from which I see no escape that doesn't involve a lot of money.

For example, I get mail nearly every day for a guy who owns a drugstore in Paris. _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list [email protected] https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
