What are the ramifications of mass email verification software in a corporate IT environment? One of our departments wants to clean an email list of 65,000 addresses with a product like G-Lock Software's Advanced Email Verifier.

Depending on how the software actually works (disregarding the marketing hype) I can think of a few potential problems. What's your take on this? Thanks.

just thoughts..
if it uses vrfy, but the server has that command disabled.. you'd be deleting valid customers.

"This software does what your SMTP e-mail server does, which confirms that the person exists before sending the message."

doesn't really tell you much.

i don't think the ramifications include anything horrible. quite possibly greylisting/blacklisting.. getting added to dnsbl.. etc, etc.
everyone is on a blacklist of some sort though.

good luck!
