The other thing you need to do is get AOL on the phone and go through the process of getting whitelisted.
AOL has a "guilty until proven innocent" policy with incoming mailservers. There's also bonding services like Iron Port, that you may want to look into. -- Scott Stewart ColdFusion Developer SSTWebworks 4405 Oakshyre Way Raleigh, NC. 27616 (919) 874-6229 (home) (703) 220-2835 (cell) -----Original Message----- From: C. Hatton Humphrey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 30, 2008 1:58 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Email Verification Tool Okay, I'm looking at an interesting situation when it comes to sending out mass emails. We've got a client with about 9000 email addresses on their list and some 2000 are invalid Yahoo and AOL accounts. When they send, our mail server gets blacklisted. Unacceptable. My original though was to have a tool that used telnet and rcpt to commands to validate the email addresses. I've been asked to find out if there is anything out there that will do this already. I found the HexGadget components at http://hexillion.com/hg/ and wonder if it's as simple as that (and if it's fast enough). I've found http://www.pivo.com/Default.aspx?page=features&product=emailvalidator the Pivo validator as well. These are COM objects that appear to handle the tasks. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks!
