in thread Sendmail to non-working email address

Please try your test with @aol.com addresses.

Last time I heard AOL accepts ALL email address to the aol.com domain, and deals with dumping it later.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

IMHO the only method that works are the procedures blue_cowdawg and merlyn outlined.

The user must receive an email with a Unique identifer, and respond with that secret and unique "key" (preferable non-guessable and random).

    Hi smellysocks!

    The only time AOL does not accept the message is if originating machine is in their black list - then they 550 it at the connection. Otherwise they accept and notify in the bounce message as you surmise.
