We open an smtp connection to the mail server and if that works we
assume the email is valid enough.

Hi Folks... I offer some free downloads on my web site...

trade I feel). I'm getting a lot of garbage being offered by people
who
want a look but don't want to give their info.
Screening for legitimate email addresses is done on many web sites
and I
understand:
1. Checking for the @ sign - a very weak edit.
2. Sending the download link by email to the downloader's email
address -
pretty strong edit.
What I see some web sites do is legitimize the email address on the
spot and
immediately deny access if the email is illegitimate. How is this
done?
Any other great ideas about screening email addresses?
Thanks... Jim
