I can see how that would work fine for a forum, but this will be for a
shopping cart. I know that there isn't a perfect solution - all I want would
be to try to prevent someone from entering a blatantly wrong address. The
other day, I had someone enter an address like sally...@yahoo.com. This
morning, when I e-mailed her directly, it bounced back immediately as user
unknown which means she didn't get her e-mail from the cart and I wasn't aware
of that until now.
It seems that all I'd need would be to check 1) if the domain is good
and 2) whether or not the user has an account on that domain.
I'll be checking out Email::Valid and Email::Verify::SMTP to see if
either of these might prevent that type of scenario from happening again.
Thanks again,
Marc
