simple method to verify e-mail address?
-
The following snippet can be used to verify URL well and simply:
Dim objHTTP Dim sHTML Set objHTTP = Server.CreateObject ("Microsoft.XMLHTTP") objHTTP.open "GET", strURL, False objHTTP.send sHTML=objHTTP.statusText if err or sHTML<>"OK" Then VerifyURL = False else VerifyURL = True End if Set objHTTP=nothingSo are there any ways to verify e-mail addresses the same alike?I am not meaning the expression check,but the real e-mail address existence checking. I know cp has an article about it,but it's so complex to implement. Thanks. this is my signature for forums quoted from shog*9: I can't help but feel, somewhere deep within that withered, bitter, scheming person, there is a small child, frightened, looking a way out. -

I know cp has an article about it,but it's so complex to implement. Two ways I know of. One, send an command to the email addresses host server. There is some way of requesting the existence of an email address, not sure what it is though so look it up. Two, send an email to the email address with a link to your site which has a unique code which verifies the address. Much like many sites do e.g. "Welcome, to verify your account just click the link below" then it would flip a boolean field in the database saying "verified" or not. I would go with this method, more reliable.

Thanks,Paul. Can you give the details about how to implement the second way? Thanks. Maybe an article for cp. :) this is my signature for forums quoted from shog*9: I can't help but feel, somewhere deep within that withered, bitter, scheming person, there is a small child, frightened, looking a way out.
