Re: Quick email address check

All good suggestions guys. Richard's has the advantage of solving the potential for a delay by the user's email server. I'll have the user submit and tell'm to wait while I check the email address for them. Solves several problems. Al wrote:

I'm scripting a simple registry where the user can input their name and email address. I'd like to do a quick validity check on the email address they just inputted. I can check the syntax, etc. but want check if the address exists. I realize that servers can take a long time to bounce etc. I'll just deal with this separately. Is there a better way than simply sending a test email to see if it bounces? Thanks....
