Ok, I thought so, that was a question from a tester.

Brian,

There could feasibly be a feature of ZendTo that would validate an internal e-mail address before sending via a call to an internal directory of some sort. I would think it pretty difficult to implement for all of our different environments. 

This wouldn't be possible for a logged-in user attempting to send to an external address, however. There is no standard mechanism to validate an e-mail address in real time. If there were, then the spammers would have made us all disable it on our mail servers by now.

Is it possible to get notified if you have a wrong email address, in the application before you send or once you send it the only way is for your message to bounce back invalid.
