Subject: validate email address?

Anyone have a code snippet that tells whether an email address is
"valid" but not necessarily whether it is a working address because that
much I can sort out through my mail server through any bounces.

I have a database of addresses where the person entering the data has a
bad, bad, bad, BAD habit of not validating them before entering them and
so I get things like "***DO NOT SHARE DATA***" and "lmnopaol.com" and
the like. It's not my company or else she'd be going over all the
entries by hand.

Thanks in advance
