How about sending the new subscriber a ‘confirmation’ email when they subscribe. The conformation email requires the new subscriber to click on a link which will confirm their subscription. This will also verify their email address and ensure a legit application. Easy to have an open database that waits for confirmation reply ….if nothing comes back, the database is purged of all pending subscription.



 



Cheers TDn

Thanks Tom, I already tested that one...
 I would like to have something running on the server so that I could also test the email address when people subscribe.

 Lawrence,





Hi - no idea how well this works - my gut feeling is that most new email servers will not respond to software like this as a spam avoidance measure - but you could give it a try

 Hi,
 I have a newsletter send to over 30 000 addresses.
 This database has been set-up over the last 10 years. There is certainly thousands of addresses who are dead.
 So I'm trying to find a way to test email addresses.
 Up to now, I have tested the valid domains, but I'm sure I shall be able to go further, but I don't know how...

 I'm testing if I get a response from the server, but I don't know how to get an answer from a SMTP server.
 [showif [TCPConnect host=[dom]][TCPSend]GET /HTTP/1.0[UnURL]%0D%0A%0D%0A[/UnURL][/TCPSend][/TCPConnect]^OK]OK[/showif]

 Thanks fort Help
 Lawrence
