I'm trying, as usual, to save myself some programming.
What I need is a quick email address verifier.
exim -bt ADDRESS
helps determine whether the address is well formed and whether there is
a hostname (or MX) for the address, but if the address would generate a
5?? directly from that host, I can't coax out of a one liner.
Neither the perl Net::SMTP nor the Mail::* modules quite have what I need,
and I thought that a one liner to the exim command line would help.

Relativism is the triumph of authority over truth, convention over justice.
