The Email Checker application allows you to check whether the given address exists, temporary, or contains errors.
First of all, we check that email address is valid in terms of standard verification rules (contains the local part, the ‘@’ sign and domain part, etc.). We then split the address into a username and an email server address. We check the email server for the presence in the disposable email servers database.
Next, we test if the entered email address exists. This is not a simple procedure, because many servers block this feature in order to combat spam. Some servers just give false information. For the same reason, email verification traffic is blocked by many ISPs. To examine how the email server is configured, we first test a dummy email address existence. If the server tells us that the specified email exists, it is most likely giving false information and we cannot verify email address for this server. If the server reports that the dummy address does not exist, we can safely check email address entered by the user, it is very likely that we will get a valid answer.
Of course, it makes no sense to check a dummy address on the same server over and over again. Therefore, we keep our own, constantly updated database of email servers. In this database, we record which servers block checks, provide false information, or allow email validation. For example, we know that we can check gmail addresses without any problems, so we don’t have to use our dummy mail checker algorithm for it.
