VRFY is an internal SMTP command. There's no way to directly issue it using
JavaMail, since it abstracts away that level of complexity. Suffice to say
that there is no sure fire way to automatically verify a user's email
address. Any email system that has an administrator with any brains has
disabled the VRFY command in the server so that it will not work, plus it
only works with SMTP servers to begin with. The only way to verify an email
address is to send an email to it and watch for rejections or bounces. Or
even better, make them reply to the mail before you'll consider it verified.
You might have better luck with JavaMail questions in the JavaMail Interest
List.
