Does a contact exist

I would like to know how to check if email addresses in
my Contact database are valid in order to create a list
of Contacts to be deleted. If I just send a short email,
address invalid responses come back in many formats which
then have to be manually edited to pull out the email
address. I can automate this process but I wonder if
there's a quicker route?

Pleased to 'speak' to you at last after reading many of
your articles. Does your reply mean that I must send a
message to each address and strip the invalid address
from the automated 'No such address here' reply?

I take it there's no 'ping' equivalent?

There's no shortcut to this process if by "valid" you mean "the address
actually exists on a mail server somewhere."

Yes, and to your other question, correct.
