Connect the hosting mail server and run the following commands:
helo remotedomain.ext
mail from:youremail@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
rcpt to:emailaddresstotest
quit
But some mail servers verify the email address and other accept anything
but dump the message if the email is not valid. You really cannot
validate an email unless you send it and get a tracable reply.

Subject: verify an email address
is there a way to check that an email address is valid from the midrange
side? not just formatted correctly but actually exists.
