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
