The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Mail::Verify
DSLIP: bdpfb
description: Attempt to verify an email address
userid: PETEF (Pete Frichtman)
chapterid: 19 (Mail_and_Usenet_News)
communities:
Planning on creating a freshmeat.net project entry.
similar:
rationale:
The choice of Mail:: is obvious.
I have seen a lot of perl that attempts to verify email addresses
on it's own (usually a poorly-formed regexp). This may suffice for
smaller sites, but larger sites that keep large databases of
user-defined email addresses for mass-mailing or even for one-time
verification may wish to validate the email address inputted as much
as possible before wasting resources (ie: storage, bandwidth) in
trying to send mail to the address.
If it's not listed in the module list, nobody will know about this
wonderful tool :-)

The resulting entry would be:
