Features

This chapter covers the core features and capabilities of Email Verifier.

Features

  • Syntax validation — RFC 5322-compliant regex with clear error messages
  • MX record lookup — DNS-based domain verification using stdlib only
  • SMTP handshake — Mailbox existence check without sending an email
  • Disposable domain detection — Flags known throwaway email services
  • Role address detection — Identifies non-personal addresses (admin@, support@, etc.)
  • Batch processing — Verify entire lists from text files or CSVs
  • Multiple output formats — JSON, CSV, or plain text
  • Rate limiting — Configurable delay between SMTP checks

Requirements

  • Python 3.10+
  • No external dependencies (stdlib only)
