Kickbox
Kickbox is a web app which has been designed to check and thoroughly verify the quality and integrity of the email addresses in your newsletter distribution list. Weeding out bad email addresses from your newsletter distribution list is very important, as the percentage of undelivered or bad addresses in your list directly influences deliverability of your messages.
My comment: A useful tool for any serious marketer having a large list of email contacts but not seeing relevant open and click through rates. Also very handy for those publishers who have acquired a newsletter email list from others, have revived old lists abandoned for some time, or do not know the origin of addresses in their lists. (note: you should always verify the origin of your email lists)
