- Regex Validation: Ensures the email address structure follows industry-standard regex patterns to detect typos and formatting errors before further processing.
- MX Validation: Checks for valid Mail Exchange (MX) records to confirm the email domain is configured to receive messages, ensuring it exists and is active.
- MX Blacklist Validation: Identifies domains listed on known blacklists for spam or malicious activity, helping you avoid unreliable or harmful email destinations.
- SMTP Validation: Performs real-time verification by pinging the recipient’s SMTP server to confirm the email address is live and capable of receiving emails.
