Re: Notes and Policies and Stuff...

I remembered that Manuel Lemos wrote a class to validate an address at 3 levels: "... Class that may be used to determine if a given e-mail address is valid. It features: - Simple validation just by looking at the e-mail address string. - Validation of a e-mail address host as a valid mail exchange domain. - Validation of a e-mail address by connecting to the mail host server to determine if there is really a deliverable mail box. ..." We will want to use the class for the 3rd type of validation. A quick test shows that it seems to work quite well, will add some more to the code and test later. As for the NOSPAM, NO_SPAM, NO-SPAM, and low case variations, I think we could just do a search and replace and then test the resulting address using the class. Nothing too complicated. Tnxs for the nice words Rob, after all I always say that anything that can make the job easier/simpler is a good thing (I am lazy that way ;-). --- Ron Chmara <ron@Opus1.COM> wrote: > "J. M.
