Okay, I'm a little confused now.
Does Email::valid module actually send out an e-mail to the user from a blind like you just said?
Also, I've been hearing a lot about Email::valid on this board, but no one seems to recommend using Email::Valid::Loose. Doesn't it make more sense since it can verify a whole entire range of e-mail addresses? I know a few people who have e-mail addresses that containt "." afront of the "@" , ex. joe.smith@comcast.com
