Keep an eye on the email addresses too. GMail offers simple aliasing of email addresses. Basically youremail+somealias@gmail.com will go to youremail. (FYI - a + is valid in an email account, but GMail doesn't allow them in their accounts, so doing a broad *+*@*.* would catch emails that are legit) Jamie Holly http://hollyit.net On 4/7/2014 5:41 PM, Walt Daniels wrote:
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.
