RE: Editing E-Mail Addresses

Yeah, I remember the threads about validating the actual e-mail address
coming to that conclusion.  I'll settle for the domain.

Thanks.

>If any (MX records) exist, the domain is okay.  

Yup.

>If there are no MX records, use GetHostByName to determine if the
domain is okay. 

Technically speaking, if an A record exists you're good. But since
GetHostByName would rely on the existance of an A records there about the
same. 

>Or am I still lost?

Nope, think you've got it. But remember, like others have pointed out,
you've not really verified that the address is valid, just that it could
be valid. You'd need to send an e-mail to check that it is valid.
