I believe it will actually check the domain name and the email account for validity, as well as if the mailbox is full.

But this isEmail() UDF is Pretty handy for checking the validity of the email Address string.. http://www.cflib.org/udf.cfm?ID=216 Hope this is of some use.. Cheers, Adam -----Original Message----- From: Guy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 06, 2003 8:48 PM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] Validate a email address Hi, Is there a way to validate a email address before submitting the email? I know of how to validate a URL, by submitting a HTTP request via <CFHTTP> and then checking if the response message code is 200. Is there something similar to check an Email address? I could possibly use <CFPOP> tag to check if the email was successful, but I wish to check the email address before sending the email. Any help would be appreciated.
