i recently finished a script that ran our 35k customer records through DNS/MX/SMTP servers and flagged all invalid addresses.
sadly any properties that use yahoo servers or sympatico.ca, bell.ca, always return "OK" and you physically need to bounce an email to verify it. many of our customers have @yahoo addresses so we still have about 25% that simply cannot be validated without a "probe" message :(
