Hi, I have an application where i have to check whether an email id is really existing or not.

1. Can we do this by sending a dummy packet first, and if it returns an error (Mail Delivery system) then Email-ID does not exists, if it is success then the actual mail should be sent. If so, how to get the return value of Mail Delivery System or

ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = delegate(object s, X509Certificate certificate, X509Chain chain, SslPolicyErrors sslPolicyErrors) { return true; };

2. Heard Spammers do use VRFY command and check with DSN response(2.0.0 for user exist and 5.1.1 for user doesn't exists).

How to implement this through ASP.NET.

Awesome Coding !! :)

0	Hi Sarat, I dont want to check whether an Email ID is existing in my database or not. I want to check whether an email Id is really existing or not whether it may be @gmail, @yahoo or anything.. irrespective of domain. Eg: A user may give a text in the email id format, which might not be existing/valid.. so, i want first check whether it does really exist or not ryt. The solution should be other than directly Handling SMTP exception. Awesome Coding !! :) Vasanthmvp, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator
