The only way to do that is to send an email to the address with a link, coded specially for that address, to a website that the user has to click on. The web application that takes the data in the URL and uses it to figure out which address that is the one that clicked on the link. It's impossible to do it in an automated way. If there was a way to do it, we'd all have thousands of times more spam in our email boxes!
