Email Address Verifier or Validator

[Eddie Kasper]

I am looking for an add-on or standalone software for a company that has
multiple computers on a local server that will allow them to confirm, verify
and/or validate any incoming emails.

Basically something like this.

- User sends an email to Client.
- The software then receives the email and holds it (keeps it from reaching
the Client) in which it would then send an auto-response message to the User
asking them to verify their email address by replying to that message.
- The software will receive the message back and confirms that it is a valid
email address thus releasing the original email from the User to the Client.

Is there any such tool that can be added to either one of the follow:

1. Software or add-on for each computer,
2. Software for one in-house local server that networks all the computers

I do not want a web based spam filter or email verifier.

Thanks.
Eddie

this is called a challenge response system - are you looking for something
for the recipients to implement or for your users (the senders) to verify
with your smtp server before the message gets sent out?

I think the CRS is a bit much. I was hoping for something that is a bit
more simplified and safe. I found this but the price is steep.

I believe it just receives and hold the incoming email while the Zaep sends
out an autoresponder email to the sender. All the sender has to do is just
reply to it. Thereafter, the Zaep gets the reply and the original email is
released.

The sad thing about this is that the client has an old version of Outlook
(2002 or earlier) that doesn't have junk mail feature.

I am open for suggestions.

Zaep is challenge-response. FWIW, most people hate them - I personally don't
respond to the challenge. If someone writes to me and I take the time to
reply and I get a CR mail when I reply, I figure they don't care enough to
whitelist people they send to. If spam is a problem, get a real spam filter
for the server level.

I use ORFEE (vamsoft.com) and the filters built into Exchange server (IMF) -
Spam assassin and other Bayesian filters are also good.
