Email Validator

Verify emails instantly

How It Works

Our advanced multi-step validation process ensures 99% accuracy

01

Syntax Check

We verify the email format matches IETF standards and contains no invalid characters.

02

Disposable Detection

The domain is checked against our frequently updated database of temporary/throwaway email providers.

03

DNS & MX Lookup

We query the Domain Name System to confirm that the domain is configured to receive emails.

04

SMTP Handshake

We securely communicate with the mail server to verify the mailbox exists without sending an email.

Validation Tips

  • Valid implies high deliverability
  • Risky implies a catch-all or blocked check
  • Disposable emails hurt reputation
  • Checking SMTP does not send an email

Privacy Note

Our API protects your data with 256-bit encryption. We do not store or reuse tested email addresses.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about email validation

Showing 6 of 6 entries

Our validation process is 99% accurate. We use multi-layer checks including syntax analysis, DNS MX record lookup, disposable email detection, and direct SMTP server connection to ensure the highest possible accuracy without actually sending an email.
No, we never send emails to the addresses you check. Our tool communicates with the mail server (SMTP handshake) just enough to confirm if the mailbox exists, and then safely disconnects before any email is sent.
A risky email typically means the mail server is configured as 'catch-all' (it accepts all emails sent to that domain, even if the specific user doesn't exist), or the server temporarily blocked our check. It might be deliverable, but carries a higher risk of bouncing or hitting a spam trap.
No, we value your privacy. We do not store, log, or reuse the email addresses you validate. All checks are performed in real-time and the data is discarded immediately after returning the result.
Some mail servers employ strict anti-spam filters or greylisting that actively block verification attempts. In these rare cases, a valid email might be flagged as invalid or risky because the server refused to confirm its existence to our automated check.
Disposable or temporary emails are addresses created for short-term use (e.g., Mailinator, 10MinuteMail). Users often use them to bypass registration forms. Sending to these addresses hurts your sender reputation, so we flag them so you can block them.
