Hi,
I was wondering if there's a way to verify whether or not an email address actually exists?
Hi,
There's no universal way of automatically verifying an email address.
What you can do, however, is to send an email to the address provided, containing a validation-link back to your site. This way, the user would only recieve the link if the email address is valid at that point in time.
The email verification CFPlugin provides this kind of verification, provided that you've set up an appropriate DB Connection with the form.

Thanx for your quick reply -
We're asking folks to provide emails of their friends who might be interested in our services, so a validation link would work for the person filling out the form, but not for the email address they provide...
