You can use: http://www.abika.com/Reports/verifyemail.htm to reverse track an email to verify it is a valid email address

From what I understand, emails can be used as proof of an agreement between two or more parties. Yes, people could forge a fake one, but it is also easy to prove that the email came from their company to you. Whatever the case, keep the email and any other info you get from them. \nGood Luck and God Bless!

Here is a link for interpretting email headers. If you have any of the bogus email you can get alot of the info you need (IP address etc) from the header. TX\n\nhttp://www.stopspam.org/email/headers.html

You can't unless they have included their email address in their profile (like I have).

This is standard practice - especially if you're changing your e-mail address to one of the 'free' ones.\n\nhttp://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/newtoebay/RegisterVerifyOrEmail.html\n\nYou've said you initiated the process so there is nothing to worry about here.\n\nWith any e-mail from eBay you can check the message as someone else suggested, but it should also be present if you log in directly to eBay and look under your messages.

Sorry, but you cannot. The country is of no significance for she could be using any of several email service providers. Even if you do know the service provider you will need to know her email ID.

The point is to check the validity of an email recipient. If the system in question responds with an error, you can be sure that the recipient email address does not exist. So the point is to verify that your email address does exist. The reason it works is because some mail servers don't correctly handle missing data but to be RFC compliant still forward the missing message on anyway.

The content of email is only as secure as your connection to the server.  Anything that snoops between you and it could copy the message.\n\nFinding someone's email address, if that is what you means, is only as easy as they want it to be for you, like advertising it places.\n\nSome companies will sell your email address to other companies for marketing mails...

Is there something wrong with the email address? We need more specifics.

get one of their emails - look at the header information, find the source IP address and type that into an IP "who is" search - thsi is very brief but have a search on the Internet there are plenty of site to give help

email the person and say that you were wondering who it is

that's theoretically impossible. unfortunately, even if the person you're looking for registered with their real name and city (which doesn't always happen) i believe email providers are not allowed by law to give out their customers' information.

Hi, I am glad people are being aware about email address verification rules :)\n\nMany organizations don't even care alot about it.\n\nFirst of all, in the computer industry there is a standard on email protocol. We call it RFC standard. This standard is a must for everything which is online.\n\nNow since there is a standard on how to do emails, an email should be well structured... Your question might be is how do we let the user know that his email that he entered is well structured?\n\nThat is a good question, and the answer will be, the use of regular expression. Regular expressions, commonly known as "Reg Ex" are a set of key combinations that are meant to allow people to have a large variety of control over what they are searching for. Reg Ex is used a lot under Unix, and is common between many programs.\n\nEvery programming language has this functionality.\nThe pattern below would be the regular expression for checking if the email is a valid email..\n\nNormally a email is split by a name and a domain name@domain\n\nLets discuss the NAME part:\nReg ex Pattern: ^[0-9a-z_]([-_.]?[0-9a-z])*\n\n- The name, according to the RFC can only consist of letters and numbers with 2 characters a dot (.) and a underscore (_)\n- The name must start with a number or a letter, it CANNOT start with a symbol (./_).\n- It must contain a letter or a number and can contain at least 1 or more symbol . Note can, but it could not.\n- The name must end with a letter or a number, but not a symbol.\n\nThe above is STANDARD! And it must be valid! And the Pattern\nI posted above matches that statement!\n\nNow lets discus the domain:\nPattern: [0-9a-z][-.0-9a-z]*&#92;&#92;.[a-z]{2,...\n\n- Notice that it must contain a number or a letter to start with\n- And it MUST contain a dot.\n- It MAY contain a underscore or more dots.\n- But AFTER the dot it MUST contain 2 or 3 letters ( i made it that way you could place 4 )\n\n\nOkay now I explained the verification rules, but one might ask on how do we use them?\n\nLook up regular expressions in your programming language, I will show you how I did it in PHP language.\n\n\n/**\n*\n* Checks validity of an email\n*\n*@author\n*Mohamed Mansour (m0.interactive@gmail.com)\n*@param host\n* string which is the email address\n*@return\n*Boolean\n*\n*/\nfunction CheckEmailContact($host) {\nif (eregi("^[0-9a-z_]([-_.]?[0-9a... $host, $check)) {\n\n$host = substr(strstr($check[0], '@'), 1).".";\nif(function_exists('getmxrr')) {\nif (getmxrr($host, $validate_email_temp) )\nreturn TRUE;\n} else {\nreturn TRUE;\n}\n\n// This checks if dns is valid\nif(function_exists('checkdnsrr... {\nif(checkdnsrr($host,"ANY"))\nreturn TRUE;\n} else {\nreturn TRUE;\n}\n}\nreturn FALSE;\n}\n\n\n\nNotice I used it... And notice there is a function within my programming language which tells me if the DOMAIN is a valid domain by simply pinging the domain.\n\n\nI hope I helpeD!

I think you mean "legitimate" instead of "valid." There is no central web site that tracks the legitimacy of a web site. If it looks even slightly fishy, don't give them your email unless you want a lot of spam. If you still want to try it, quickly create a new Yahoo account (free) and give them that email address - you don't have to bother even using the address again.
