I have web contact pages which are used by anyone to send enquiries.

I want to make sure that anyone using them has a valid reply address set
in a web form BEFORE I forward the message on to the site administrators.


Mailer is exim, and that's currently but not necessarily invoked by the
php mail() function.


what I want is a function like

is_valid_mail("user12345(at)gmail(dot)com")

that will return true or false if gmail accepts the user as known (yes
the spam is always @gmail.com) WITHOUT having to write a dns mx lookup,
then connect to socket 25 and etc etc etc..

exim -bt tells me if the domain is valid, but not the user.

I am not particular how its achieved - anything can be merged into the
existing code.

anyone done this?

diminishing number of producers.
