"""
Check that a particular email address exists.

WARNING:
  Checking email addresses in this way is not recommended, and will lead to
  your site being listed in RBLs as a source of abusive traffic. Mail server
  admins do like it when they get connections that don't result in email being
  sent, because spammers often use this technique to verify email addresses.

# traditional method of searching a website for content
#   curl contents of a web page, piped to grep to match regex
$ curl "foo.com" -Ls | grep -o bar

# proof of concept, piping to allow node.io to do the matching.
# node.io has a builtin eval method that uses javascript's eval
# to handle the matching
$ curl "foo.com" -Ls | node.io -s eval "input.match(/bar/g)"

# install node.io globally with npm
