Check that a email address exists when submitting a form...

[prover]

Is there a way to test that an email (that was submitted) actually exists not just if the syntax is correct.

I have a form that a user submits and i send back a confirmation email with a tracking number. I find a lot of emails are bouncing back as undeliverable (grrrr).

I was wondering if there was a way to "test" an email that was submitted and if it was valid before continuing with filling out the form, or alerting the user the email they gave is not valid and stopping.

TIA!

That was short and to the point!

I thought so too, but i figured if anyone has done it they'd be here!!!

Thanks
