You would be better off checking the validity of the address before it
reaches cfmail. Though a function does not check if the domain exist or if
the address is valid it does check that the addess is well formed.
It can be taken another step by invoking a web service to ping the address
and wait for a reply, it is all a matter of how far you wish to take it.
<cfscript>
function iswellformedemail(email) {
if
(refindnocase("^['_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)[EMAIL PROTECTED](\.[a-z0-9-]+)*\.([a-
z]{2,})$",arguments[1])) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
</cfscript>

Subject: [cfaussie] Invalid email addressed
Does any one know if I can stop cfmail through an error if the email address
is invalid. I'm trying to use <cftry> but I still get an error. I have
posted my code below. Not to address is blank to cause error.
<cftry>
<cfmail to="" subject="Education News - April 2003 Edition"
type="html" from="[EMAIL PROTECTED]">
#html_source#
</cfmail>
<cfcatch type="application">
Email Error
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
