Ping email address?

Is it possible to ping an email address to ensure that it exists?

There is a package out there to ensure the Addresses are correct
You can test two ways, Active Domain and E-Mail Address

Not Too Sure, I will ask a contact to see if he remembers what it is called

Send an e-mail, if it exists it will not send an error message back ... Unless you are into bulk message spamming ...
