> Unfortunately there is no way to validate an e-mail address short of sending > to it. And even this will only be useful if the service is configured to return an 'undeliverable' response or the domain itself doesn't exist. It's not uncommon to have servers configured to route mail for invalid userids to a postmaster type of account. Someone can be assigned to monitor that account and redirect to the correct user when possible. Otherwise, the probe might just go into a black hole making it look as if it were a valid address.
