I have done a search and could not find anything. Has anyone tried a email verification script. You know to find out if a email is valid without actually checking bounce backs of messages.

The reason, I have a site and when giving away a free software version I get a collection of emails, some are invalid. I wish to sort these so I can inform the people of updates.

I don't believe it's possible to check if an email address exists without first sending an email to it, which is why so many sites require you to click on a link in an email sent to you in order to validate the email address.

Although you won't be able to tell if the email address actually exists, this page describes how to check if an email address is properly formatted by using regular expressions.

Thanks for heads up, I downloaded the program and will investigate. I have started to learn PHP but what with creating Basic programs learning AHK and now PHP I will not know if I am Arthur or Mather. I know I will start studying biology.

Thanks again all for pitching in

You can use regex to validate the form of email addresses.
