@Debbie: Hi Debbie

Check my reply to Mike above. I think it may be caused by your web server’s IP address being on an anti-SPAM RBL.

What would cause a real email to not work?

For examples, These are the two email addresses that are not accepted by the verification contribution:

sallycampbell777@aol.com
wavewench@hotmail.com

@Mike: Hi Mike

Thanks a lot for your interest in this patch. However I don’t use osCommerce any more and anyway I’m not and have never been involved in its development. I just used to administer an osC site some years ago and wrote and published this patch which was very useful to me at that time.

When I published this code three years ago it worked. Don’t know if due to new anti-spam measures on MTAs something has changed. One thing to check if you still have problems, if your osC’s server’s IP is listed in some RBL this method won’t work as it needs to connect to the remote MTA to verify the address; if the remote MTA refuses your connection, the code will think it’s not a valid MTA or that the domain is wrong and will mark the e-mail address as invalid.

In any case you should go to the osCommerce site at http://www.oscommerce.com/ and check in their forums. Maybe anybody there still uses this code and can help you.

Regards
