MailVerify: Advanced email validation software for mailing list verification
Fake email addresses are a huge problem for busy web sites. Most email validation programs looks for a "@" and a "." in the address. This is extremely inadequate and databases get populated with bad email addresses, resulting in several important problems: When sending a mass mailing to your site's customers, a large percentage of these emails get bounced and returned, wasting valuable bandwidth and resources. Many webmasters do not realize the fact that bandwidth is wasted doubly, since bad emails are sent, and then returned.
But email address verification is complicated... the syntax is surprisingly complex. And you have to write a lot of tricky networking code if you want to check also the domain or username.
1. Description
MailVerify is an advanced email validation software that is can validate email in mailing lists. MailVerify can verify email, check and eliminate inexistant or invalid email addresses using advanced email verification techniques. The verification workflow includes syntax checks, domain validation, and 3 additional tests to verify an address. This technique significantly minimizes the number of bad email returns while increasing the accuracy of the mailing list.
MailVerify domain validation works by performing a special type of DNS lookup. This lookup ensures that the domain of the email address is fully qualified to receive mail. Although it is impossible for email validation to be 100% foolproof, MailVerify can reduce the bad addresses in your database by up to 70% or more! improving the quality of your addresses by filtering out far more bad addresses than any email validation tool.

5. Other downloads: Microsoft Jet 4.0
The actual database engine used by our products is the JET 4.0 Database engine (or JET OLEDB engine). The JET 4.0 engine is the database engine used in Microsoft Access 2000 (part of Microsoft Office) and was chosen because it is FREE and is already installed on most versions of Windows.
However, starting with MDAC v2.6, Microsoft stopped including the JET database engine with the MDAC distribution. So, some systems with MDAC do may not have the latest JET database engine files. Also, older JET database files can cause databases to be be large and slow.
If and only if you are having trouble with slow database operations, be sure to install the latest JET files given below. The latest version of the Jet 4.0 engine is SP8.
