I like the idea of having this capability. Having the option to integrate it into sendmail or as a standalone scrubber would be ideal. Could this become a product?
Next week I get a new list of 500 emails that has never been tested. I would like to do an SMTP handshake(without sending) to verify the domains/addresses that will accept the emails, and remove the addresses that fail. This makes bounce management much cleaner and lowers overhead when you actually send the messages. -Trevor > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf > Of Lennart Regebro > Sent: Thursday, November 15, 2001 7:38 AM > To: Andreas Jung; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [Zope-dev] What to do when one mail recipient fails out of > several? > > > Hmm, thats true...
