    These days, you can’t know if the email address is valid. The domain is about as far as you’ll get and you can do a reverse lookup on that to see if that is valid. But it won’t tell you about the user.

    What you need is something to process the bounces from your mail out and write some sort of script to perhaps update the list. There are many tools under Linux for this type of purpose such as procmail. Theres a port of that for windows I think.
