WATCH OUT! - this is what I consider a common misbehaviour (even in
"official" mailing lists)

please be careful and do NOT use the To:-field for such "mass
mailings" - each recipient will see _all_ adressees... especially when
there are lists in the AB and those lists are archived in the web this
is quite a chance for spammers to collect (and personally I dislike
strongly to see -at least some of- my mail accounts shared with folks
I do not know, even if s.o. who I know knows them...)

use the BCC: instead and put your own address in the To: so that noone
can see any adressee - e.g.:

To:  undisclosed recipients <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
BCC: All
...

Maybe you want to try Advanced Maillist Verify (AMV). Take a look at:

Hello Grimnir,

On Thu, 25 Apr 2002 09:09:18 -0700GMT (25-4-02, 18:09 +0200GMT, where
I live), you wrote:

Only way to achieve this is by sending them a real e-mail. TB isn't
able to check addresses with the various servers of their ISP's.

Red X questio

2002-04-25 Thread Grimnir

Hello tbtech,

Is there a way that i may send 'dummy' messages to everyone in my address
book, to make sure they still have a valid address?

These people don't have to receive the mail, just something so I know it
is no longer working?

Not a line in the e-mail saying they must respond, but I was thing some
more along the line of a reg X that will check each mail as it goes out,
and if it bounces 3 times in a roe it will remove it from the address
book, or marked it as 'not valid'

Tia
