Right. It's been a while, but I vaguely remember playing an SMTP class a
while back that would actually establish a connection with the remote server
and verify whether the address was a valid recipient. Of course, I also
seem to recall that it took forever and bogged up a lot on addresses like
AOL and MSN. Hehe In other words, I decided it wasn't for me, but it sounds
like this guy might benefit from it.
