How to verify email address using mailx command ?

Is there any way i can verify the email address (before sending the mail) using the mailx command ?
I know that

Code:
sendmail -bv email@address.com

can do it but there is a compatibility issues with the version of Unix we have. So mailx is the only command we can used at this point.

Any pointers in this regard will be appreciated. Smilie
