email validation service

[Bishoy George]

I need a web service url ending with .asmx to validate email address
ensuring that it is a real email address before putting it into database.
Note: I know how to make a regular expression validator, I need to check
that this email address is real....
Thanks

It sounds like you want to use an email validation component:
