I am trying to write a program that can verify an email address
without sending mail to it.
check out the Perl module Email::Valid
"This module determines whether an email address is well-formed, and
optionally, whether a mail host exists for the domain. Please note
that there is no way to determine whether an address is deliverable
without attempting delivery".
Even attempting delivery will not reliably tell you whether the
address is deliverable: I have encountered a fair number of systems
that will accept email for any address apparently in their domain,
returning bounce messages for the undeliverable ones. Or just throwing
away the undeliverable ones. Or doing fuzzy pattern matching on
the address and delivering to the best match...
