RE: Validating email addresses

[bdietz@xxxxxx]

You can use the nslookup command on the 400 providing you are at v4r3+

It dos not appear like it works from a command line,

I started it like this -->   NSLOOKUP DMNNAMSVR('150.159.216.206')

And at the terminal screen I typed:
 > set type=MX

then I typed yahoo.com and was returned the following info:

 > yahoo.com
   Server:  ns2.lci.net
   Address:  150.159.216.206

   Nonauthoritative answer:
   yahoo.com       preference = 1, mail exchanger = mx2.mail.yahoo.com
   yahoo.com       preference = 0, mail exchanger = mx1.mail.yahoo.com

   Authoritative answers can be found from:
   yahoo.com       nameserver = NS3.EUROPE.yahoo.com
   yahoo.com       nameserver = NS1.yahoo.com
   yahoo.com       nameserver = NS5.DCX.yahoo.com
   mx2.mail.yahoo.com      internet address = 128.11.23.199
  < big snip>
   mx1.mail.yahoo.com      internet address = 128.11.23.247
   NS3.EUROPE.yahoo.com    internet address = 194.237.108.51
   NS1.yahoo.com   internet address = 204.71.200.33
   NS5.DCX.yahoo.com       internet address = 216.32.74.10

Make sure, however, that you don't just look for the IP address of the
domain ... many domains do not have a IP address, just a MX or Mail
eXchanger record.

MIDRANGE.COM operated that way for years before the web page went online.
