I'm jumping in late, but the problem here is that properly configured servers don't return a valid/invalid response for email addresses. Why not? Because that would open your users to spam. A spam bot could quite easily figure out a bunch of valid email addresses on your domain if your server politely responded to such requests. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This transmission may contain information that is privileged, confidential and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
