Is email active?
Is there a way to check if an email is active? This is to check any email type.
Hi,
If you send a mail to the adresses and don't get a "postmaster" error email back, then the email exists but you don't know if somebody "really uses it"

Hello war1 & kaddict:
No, your solutions are not what I am looking for. I am working between 3 different website databases that have for many of the records in the email field, 3 different email addresses. The solution that I am looking for or question to answer is 'Is it possible to check email addresses from a url to see if the address is active'. This should have been the question.

By active, do you mean if the email you sent has been read? What environment are you in? Exchange?
You can use Outlook delivery receipt or read receipit.
