You may want to try this E-mail validation PHP class that does just that. It simulates an attempt to send a message to the SMTP server of the e-mail domain. It does not finish to send the message. The message could still bounce later, but at least you will still detect some invalid addresses. http://www.phpclasses.org/emailvalidation -- Regards, Manuel Lemos PHP professionals looking for PHP jobs http://www.phpclasses.org/professionals/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
