> Surely making sure your addresses are clean and correct is a good thing???
Its paramount, I think. I have a user who has a roughly 7000-address
mailing list. They get probably 500-750 bounces per mailing (with bad
addresses kept for political reasons) and the resulting backwash
amounts to a denial of service attack on my mail server.
While the validation thing I posted -- which I know is not efficient
but is designed to be used by manager-types and not developers -- will
catch bad formats it doesn't do squat for correctly-formatted but
nonexistent addresses, which is what DDOS's me.
Looking at your tag, it might be the component I need to solve this.
I'll contact you off-list.
