Description:
This email validation script needs to work on the basis of an email sent via an email client, not a web form, being piped via the capture all (default address) on a web host. For example:
An email is sent via Outlook Express to subscribeatsomewebsite.com and is then piped to a script e.g. |usr/bin/perl /home/pathto/directory/somescript.pl (which would be this one)
1.2 Once the headers have been received using the stdin, a check is needed to be performed to establish the validity of the FROM address. This needs to be performed in three ways:
1.2.1 that the syntax is ok.
If not an email will need to be sent back to the address informing the sending of the error.
1.2.2 that the host mail server exists
If not an email will need to be sent back to the address informing the sending of the error.
1.2.3 that the mail server is not on a block list.
If not an email will need to be sent back to the address informing the sending of the error.
1.3. Once these checks have been performed and have passed successfully the original raw headers of the email need to be piped to another script, which will be defined by the user, for processing in a similar manner.
Deliverables:
1) Complete and fully-functional working script and complete source code of all work done.
3) Complete ownership and distribution copyrights to all work purchased.
Platform:

I regularly deal with emails in my line of work. I work for a rather large adult entertainment company. I can throw this together for you in perl easily.
Recieving the email in a script
then checking the email address for validity I would do.
First check via a regex for a possibly valid address.
Check host names to make sure domain exists.
Check block list (as you specified)
Pass email to delivery script.
I have experience working with mass mail scripts, both direct, and through anonymous proxies, so I'd be happy to assist you with all your mailing needs.
