| Summary | 3439: Enhanced is_email_address function | ||||
| Description | Have an extra processing step that checks the domain given exists and has an MX record and that MX record points to a valid SMTP server. This will reduce the chance of bounces. Deploy it whenever appropriate (most of the time, only don't do it when mass-processing addresses). | ||||
| Additional Information | There will need to be caching. | ||||

2 problems with this... 1) We can't do it on the client-side, unless we now do address validation using AJAX 2) People might get annoyed when testing using junk addresses Also of note that during signup you have to double enter your e-mail already, which will pick most errors. I think together this makes the benefit of the feature marginal, more useful just for newsletter cleaning. |
