Hi,

There's NO way to validate an E-mail address 100% or even close to that... so don't invest time and money in a partial solution (spammers will always use addresses for which an MX-record exists), but look for other methods like sending a mail asking for confirmation, and even then you only know that it is valid at that point in time (the next minute it can already be invalid if the user changes provider or so... people have a bad habbit in informing other parties about email changes).

Kind regards,
Paul

Subject: validate email address



I am looking for a way to validate an email address, not only syntax, but
also the mx record and such.



If possible, can someone give me suggestions on how this can be done?
