Free NET Assembly for mail validation

[Domenico Ferraro]

Hello,

I created a library which performs severals checks against the email
address input by the user.

Assembly is freeware and I'm ready to improve in event of suggestions.

I called it: df_mailstuff

If anybody is interested...I'm here.

Cheers.

Here some feature:

The library is ready for immediate use, has no external dependencies,
and can be incorporated in to your new or existing scripts in minutes.
Using the library you can:


Specify the validation level to perform on any query
Perform full syntax and several rules checking of any address based on
current Internet standards.
Quickly identify invalid top level domains, private, and unreachable
domains.
Determine if the specified mail address is from a well known free
email domain.
Issue real time DNS queries to ensure the domain exists and retrieve
the MX records pointing to its mail servers.
Issue real time SMTP requests to contact the domain's mail servers and
see if they will accept mail to the address.
Issue real time WhoIs requests
Uses complex heuristic algorithms for catching invalid email
addresses.

Bonus: extract mails addresses inside a test you pass to the library.
DF_MailStuff returns detailed error codes.
A full log is available as array or text file.
No external references but .Net 2.0 framework: just download ad use
it. Here you may test it:
