You can use cfusion_verifymail() to determine if an address is a mail server in the first place, but that isn't quite what the guy asked for. I think he's looking for a CF-based way to do an SMTP VRFY. If there's a way to do that I'm curious to see it myself - although I agree its shut off on a lot of servers these days. I certainly switched it off on mine. <CFTRY> <CFPOP SERVER="#attributes.TestURL#" USERNAME="#attributes.UserName#" PASSWORD="#attributes.PassWord#" ACTION="GETHEADERONLY" NAME="GetHeaders"> <CFCATCH TYPE="Any"><!---Don't throw an error---></CFCATCH> </CFTRY> <CFIF isdefined ("GetHeaders.RecordCount")> ... mail acct found. do stuff... --------------------------------------- Matt Robertson [EMAIL PROTECTED] MSB Designs, Inc., www.mysecretbase.com --------------------------------------- ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- from: "Shawn Grover" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] date: Thu, 28 Mar 2002 14:42:12 -0700 why not just use the pop services? Most servers allow you to query for mail headers without downloading the actual message itself. You might be able to do this through CFPOP (never used it, so I'm not sure). If not, then you will need to look into the POP or SMTP protocols, or another tool/component. hth Shawn Grover -----Original Message----- From: Tracy Bost [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 28, 2002 2:13 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Checking an email Depends on the Email Server's Configuration. Its not as common to be able to do that nowadays as it used to be. Most of the time Email Administrators are going to have the vrfy command disabled on the email server.
