I know, my own has 4 dots in it (peter.cortiel@po.state.ct.us). But there has to be at least one dot and one @.

And waiting for a response can take days. There must be a better way ( I found a place (coveryourASP.com) but that is jscript and the source for the real thing is not there, just how to call it.

Is there a way from VFP to call DNS and verify the domain at least?
