email address validation

[Guest]

Hi,
Does anyone know a quick method for validating the hostpart of an email
address. For example if the address is (e-mail address removed), what do I need
to do to validate that hostname.com is a valid host.
I also need to make this call through a proxy server, I have the proxy
address, and I've been setting the GlobalProxySelection to this.
I had a look at Uri.CheckHostName, but this seems to only perform simple
pattern-matching, and does not actually check to see if the host really
exists. Thanks.

Regards,

Hi,

take a look at http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/Valid_Email_Addresses.asp

I had a similar issue here and I could not use it because of the proxy, so
all I could do was verify the domain exist , if the domain.com does not
exist I try www.domain.com . It's not perfect at all but is working fine
until now

cheers,
