Even then it is unlikely that you will get positive confirmation that the address is good. If you get a bounce then you know it is bad at the time it bounced. Still testing addresses by mailing to them could be construed as spam so proceed at your own risk chris. __ Chris Fedde 303 773 9134 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
