Thank you for the tips, Mark.
However, EmailVerify's verification algorithm is strong enough to not
look suspicious at the MX server side because it would "prepare" SMTP
sessions without actually sending out any email. I think SMTP servers
would tag a server as spam-sender if it actually send spam. But this is
not the case. Maybe you are referring to the VRFY (and alike) SMTP
command which, I know, would serve to the scope but are threated with
suspect by many SMTP servers... But, again, this is not the case:
EmailVerify doesn't make use of this command.
