yes the newsletter still goes out. The mail is sent out of a seperate account so that it will collect bounces basically the same was as using failto, so there is no worries about getting "good emails".
Actually, thats a pretty good idea ya got there! At this point im waiting to hear back from the activesoftware folks, the have a tag there that will do this but in another way, which would work perfect. http://www.activsoftware.com/email/verify/ The cost aint no biggie but they have it listed as a free tag as well, so of course free would be better. >Hi Dave, > >Are you still actively sending out the newsletter?
