      Sending a verify link to the registrant to verify is the only way to be
sure an email address is valid (at least for a short period of time).

Yes you can prob mail providers and determine if the email is valid, but
they may lie. I believe AOL replies yes to any request, at least they used
to.
Hi Folks,
Isn't the traditional way to handle this simply send a link to the
registrant's email account?  Bogus e-mail; no access.
