Well on submission of the email you could try contacting their mail server
and pretend to a have a mail for them using SMTP.
If you get a "recipient ok" or similar message.. ,thre is a code for it,
then at least the server accepts mail for that address. You might be better
off croning this rather than have the user wait on a http request.
Alternatively there is a perl mod that does this as well.
Secondly you could write a script that downloads the mail from root and
deletes out the database anything that bounces. You could even delete these
messages from the root account once done

Subject: [PHP] PHP/Sendmail interaction : how to get rid of wrong emails
Hi all
I'm facing the Problem that lots of my users are too stupid to write
their email correct.
When i mail them with php a return email is send to me by their
mailserver, which
results in LOTS of mail for the root account.
Can i get sendmail to put the returned emails in a file? so that i can
check that file with php
and delete those mails from my DB ?
or is there a way to check the email when they enter it in a form
(online versus their mailserver)?
i already check for wrong email syntax, but that does not solve the
problem...
Sebastian
