Don't forget to validate your emails before submitting. [ Edited ]

Avoid penalties.  Validate your emails before you submit.

Here is a good free tool: http://www.verifyemailaddress.org

Please post links to other free email validating tools in the replies.

I would love to know if there is a free tool for bulk validation, that won't get your website blacklisted for spamming.  I saw one good looking tool, but then I did some research and discovered that some people were having problems getting their server blacklisted after using it.  Whoa!

Is there a limit to how many emails you can test at www.mailtester.com?

myaddr.com

they have a free 1 by 1 tester and the bulk tester is pennies per 1000's of emails verified.

I tested a couple of good emails at mailtester.com and got back the response that the servers for those addresses wouldn't allow testing.  However, those same emails were able to be validated correctly at verifyemailaddress.org.

I checked myaddr.com and found that the email verification program was only free for the first 30 days.  Am I missing something there.  The bulk verification looks good if you have close to 75,000 emails to check, since there is the $150 charge.

@stvnsnjf

Both of those sites are hosted by the same ISP - DirtCheapDomains (which was purchased and run by GoDaddy for the last four years or so).

Im not sure but I think your looking at one of the programs that you can incorporate into your own testing site.

I use the bulk program that uses their servers here are the rates:

• Initial rate is 0.5 USD per 1000 emails.
• Discount for regular customers that already verify more then 10,000 emails.
• Discount for customers that do not use our service before but want to verify big about of emails.
• Final verification rate is only 0.1 USD per 1000 emails.

I ran them through the list verifier (not bulk) here is what they say:
