Bloody lightweights - LOL
PS - With reference to your problem - why do the email addresses become inactive ? How often do you purge your mail database ? Are you a spammer :-?
Its usually a good idea to validate emails by connecting to the mailserver supplied by the user using a socket, and validate new mail addresses that way - an error from the mail server and you unceremoniously delete the user anyway. The other way to validate is of course to send a validation link in the email such that the user is required to validate their receipt of the mail against the database - anybody not renewing their a/c in say a week, gets deleted.

The problem is once an email becomes inactive, I the webmaster gets a failure email sent to me. This is starting to add up and I can get upwards of 20 of these a day. It just seems likea waste of space and bandwidth... is there anyway I can prevent this? If i delete the webmaster email key in php.ini will my emails not have a reply address? Thanks! - Noah [EMAIL PROTECTED]
