No problem. Now when I tried [EMAIL PROTECTED], I did not get it to pass at all, only verified the mail server, the syntax but not the mailbox, the yahoo one the same thing. I am sure there are some bugs in it as it was hammered out in about 2 hours. Something I will just have to watch and see what needs to be worked on.

The web service is very cool, although I was able to get some invalid email addresses to pass ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) and some valid email addresses to failed ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ). Contrary to your theory, I have no idea why it would not return if the mailbox exists. Without a privacy policy / terms of use, I won't be registering at tinetics anytime soon. ( with all due respects of course ). I get hundreds of SPAM a day.
