Please pardon the delay in response to this thread...

I've been on vacation and am only just now catching up with the list.

We're looking at using callouts to determine if recipients exist. Is
this a reasonable use of callouts? Can it work? Will it throw us any

Our other option would be to maintain a list on the secondary MX; that
would be harder to do, and wouldn't be as close to realtime.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
