To validate if a given email adress reaches the right person, you have to send and process response-challenge-mails. If you need a professional/business solution for this, use ezmlm (see http://www.ezmlm.org ) and one of the webfrontends available for it. If you're planning to do it yourself in perl, you could send him some key (time() . $$) with Mail::Mailer. When he replies to that mail, you can upgrade him from a delivery-pipe. That's the way I used for my guestbook, as in http://www.jfranken.de/impressum/gaestebuch.en.html -- Johannes Franken Professional unix/network development mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.jfranken.de/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
