We use this one on www.inww.com:
<?
Function validEmail($emailaddress)
{
// Decides if the email address is valid. Checks syntax and MX records,
// for total smartass value. Returns "valid", "invalid-mx" or
// "invalid-form".
// Validates the email address. I guess it works. *shrug*
if
(eregi("^[0-9a-z]([-_.]?[0-9a-z])*@[0-9a-z]([-.]?[0-9a-z])*\\.[a-z]{2,3}$",
$emailaddress, $check))
{
//if ( getmxrr(substr(strstr($check[0], '@'), 1),
$validate_email_temp) )
if ( checkdnsrr(substr(strstr($check[0], '@'), 1), "ANY") )
{ return "valid"; }
else
{ return "invalid-mx"; }
}
else
{
return "invalid-form";
}
}
?>
