Edison Jr. I don't think that is really posible. The mail() function doesn't actually send the mail; all it does is hands it off to the defined MTA which looks after the sending etc. There have been numerous discussions on the list about how to check a mail address - have a look over those and see if there is something suitable for checking the address before processing it with mail(). Also, I recall there is a header item something like Errors to: in which you can define an address which will receieve error messages from the MTA; you'll need to check the RFCs for the correct definition. -- David Robley Temporary Kiwi!
