Make sure you capture accurate e-mail address details by checking
addresses in real time as they are captured to see if they really
exist.
Most traditional methods of validating email addresses only check
that it looks like an email address, i.e. has an @ in the middle
with some valid characters on either side. The Data8 email validation
services goes much further, checking that the email domain exists
and can accept messages sent to that address.
To make it even easier to use if you're an ASP.NET developer, you can
