RE: [PHP] PHP/Sendmail interaction : how to get rid of wrong emails

For perl look at http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-category/19_Mail_and_Usenet_News/Mail/Mail-Ch eckUser-1.02.readme As for php you would need to open a socket connection.. My advice would be to use the perl module and call a perl script from php.
