will get past cf just fine.
If you are going to continue to ship messages, I suggest that you log
the bad addresses so that you don't process them every month as well.
If you remove, bad email address, hard undeliverables (mail box does not
exist), and soft undeliverables (mail box full), you will probably drop
between 5-10% of the emails you have to send next time. Those numbers
are on the low side as well. As stated earlier, this depends on how
clean your data is, but don't be surprised if you numbers of
non-delivered mail are higher than that.

Invalid in format. As long as it's a properly formed email
address, it
will work. You just have to make sure your data is clean.

John,
Does "invalid e-mail addresses" mean e-mail addresses that
simply are
not e-mail addresses, or e-mail addresses that are valid in
format, but
do not actually exist at the other end?
In other words, I would call
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> a valid
address,
even though there is most likely no such address on the yahoo
server.
Is this how you are defining valid?
If so, it sounds like the solution is to check the e-mails using
a
regular _expression_ to be sure that they follow basic e-mail
address
format. Does this sound right to you?
Thanks,
Matthieu
