Determine if an email is active and deliverable

Within BPM 7.6.  Is there a way to determine within a submitted process if an email, that has been entered by a public user within a form, is an active email address and is a deliverable address?

Code would have to be written specifically to accommodate that.

 

The %email function is run asynchronously to the originating action will be unaware for where the email attempt was successful or not. 

 

If would be possible to add some synchronous code before the %mail attempt that call a script/DLL/Web Service that could validate the email address and you could either fail the action or route the folder to a Invalid email address stage depending on the needs of your process.

 

As for the code itself I would have to open that up to other community members, I am not aware of the specifics of programmmatically determining if a given email address is valid...
