I want to verify whether the email input by user exists in the exchange
server. How to do that? Any replies / reference provided are greatly
appreciated. Thanks!
 
ywchan,

In order to do this, you will probably have to access the CDO classes
through COM interop. There should be a method which will allow you to
resolve an email address in there.

Hope this helps.
 
Can you explain in detail?
any link / reference about that?
thanks a lot!

You can perform an AD lookup, since exchange server stores the address of
the recipient in the active directory.
