All good suggestions guys. Richard's has the advantage of solving the potential for a delay by the
user's email server.
I'll have the user submit and tell'm to wait while I check the email address for them. Solves
several problems.

I'm scripting a simple registry where the user can input their name and

I'd like to do a quick validity check on the email address they just
inputted. I can check the syntax, etc. but want check if the address
exists. I realize that servers can take a long time to bounce etc. I'll
just deal with this separately.
Is there a better way than simply sending a test email to see if it
bounces?
Thanks....
