Reference GuideEmail Object FunctionsSyntaxCCOMobject->SetDatabaseLookup(bool);mdEmailSetDatabaseLookup(object, bool);object.DatabaseLookup = BooleanSetFuzzyLookupThis function enables or disables Melissa Data’s fuzzy lookup validation function of Email Object.If the Boolean value passed to this function is TRUE, Email Object will attempt to validate the emailaddress passed to the VerifyEmail function by attempting to apply fuzzy matching algorithms to theinput domain. This is slower than a database lookup but potentially more accurate if the domain namecontains a common or transposed typo.The results of this check will set the return value of the GetResults function. Domain names thatcannot be verified by a Fuzzy Lookup will return a code for “Unverified email address.”The Fuzzy Lookup feature is disabled by default, so it must be explicitly enabled for this feature to beused.SyntaxCCOMobject->SetFuzzyLookup(bool);mdEmailSetFuzzyLookup(object, bool);object.FuzzyLookup = BooleanSetWSLookupThis function enables or disables the Melissa Data server lookup validation function of Email Object.If the Boolean value passed to this function is TRUE, Email Object will attempt to validate the emailaddress passed to the VerifyEmail function by attempting to locate the domain from a compiled andcontinuously updated list of valid domains. This is slower than a database lookup but potentially moreaccurate if the domain name is either obscure, new, or no longer valid.The results of this check will set the return value of the GetResults function. Domain names thatcannot be verified by an WS Lookup will return a code for “Unverified email address.”The WS Lookup feature is disabled by default, so it must be explicitly enabled for this feature to beused.SyntaxCobject->SetWSLookup(bool);mdEmailSetWSLookup(object, bool);9
