Is there any way to verify where the email id exist in domain or not?

Answer 1

Sounds like you need the SMTP VRFY command:

This command will request that the receiving SMTP server verify that a given email username is valid. The SMTP server will reply with the login name of the user. This feature can be turned off in sendmail because allowing it can be a security hole. VRFY commands can be used to probe for login names on a system. See the security section below for information about turning off this feature.

Note the security issues above though.
