I tend to agree with you but a client is a client.  He wants to send out
some stuff and only wants it to go to a valid email addy.  I wanted to do
the confirm via email like the lists do but he wont go for it.  He has the
bucks, I write the code.

Brad,  That Perl thing looks like it might be the best thing going and since
it is mostly regexps I will try a port.  If I get it ill make it available.
