I'm sure verifying the delivery of 70k e-mails (or however many is in <br>
the database) can be done in a few hours.<br>
<br>
But Marco's response mentions to *correcting* the contact addresses, not <br>
just verifying them. That involves working with human beings, so it <br>
makes sense that it will take a while.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
