1. OT? e-mail validator
Hi,
I'm searching for an *true* freeware e-mail validator. I couldn't
find anything in the EU archive. May be someone has a hint?
Thanks, and have a nice day,
Rolf

Hi Rolf,
three of my programs, which are used by many people, contain code that
checks whether a file has a valid e-mail _header_. Search for "mbox" in
the archives. The concerning functions are
read_mail_header() and looks_like_mail_header()
in the file "mail.e". Pretty simple, but works very well for the purpose
of the programs.
However, I don't have code that checks whether attachments or other
MIME parts in the body of a mail are syntactically correct. Nor do I
know a free program that does so.
Regards,
Juergen

Hi Jürgen,
an e-mail-validator should check:
1) syntax (simple),
2) domain (also relative simple),
3) mail server (I don't know),
3) mailbox of user (I don't know).
These kind of programs exist, but what I found in the Internet is not
freeware, it's always shareware. If you have to administrate a collection
of e-mail-addresses, it's quite useful to exclude time by time 'dead'
addresses.
Are your programs useful for this task?
I asumed someone knows about a free program.
Sincerely, Rolf

Oh, I see.

No, unfortunately not. I misunderstood what an e-mail-validator is.

I haven't tested this, but it's free and I think is worth a try:

(German page -- sorry to the other readers).

Hi Jürgen,
that's indeed a true freeware (though a simple one)! Better than nothing.
Thank you very much.
Have a nice day, Rolf
