    Hi,

    For eg: If i give the address xyz@yahoo.com, the code need to check with the yahoo server whether the id available or not.

    is it posible?

    Thanks in advance.

    No otherwise it would be too easy to fish for email addresses

        That email tester is (a) command line (i.e. no script) and (b) you can only do 10 checks per day.

        There are classes available on the web that do this checking BUT a lot of large providers (like gmail, hotmal, aol) do not give any information back because of possible email address fishing.
