The problem is there can be many layers within SMTP, a MX server may accept a message (or reply ok with VRFY) but it doesn't mean the actual email is valid or gets delivered somewhere. The only sure way, to ensure an email is valid is by tricking the user to click on a link, like for example.. a spamcease link :) Curt -- First, let me assure you that this is not one of those shady pyramid schemes you've been hearing about.
