  34 <PRE>&gt;<i> What would be really cool is if services did some verification on
  35 </I>&gt;<i> the email
  36 </I>&gt;<i> address. Even a simple MX lookup will block most of the fakes. Ideally a
  37 </I>&gt;<i> nice little socket routine that does an MX lookup, connects to
  38 </I>&gt;<i> one of the MX
  39 </I>&gt;<i> hosts, goes through the swing of sending mail and if it receives
  40 </I>&gt;<i> a 250 after
  41 </I>&gt;<i> the RCPT TO it does a RSET and QUIT and assumes the email address
  42 </I>&gt;<i> is valid.
