SMTP Email Verification

This node module was inspired by email-verify, but I modified and added some functionalities according to my needs. It was used in production for more than a year without any problems. Those changes are such as:

  1. Generate possible emails from first_name, last_name, and domain_name.

  2. Support catchAll.

  3. Support a list of emails to do verification.

  4. Support verbose mode.

Warnings

You need to have a static IP which acts as like an SMTP server to do communication with other SMTP servers. It should have valid MX Records and PTR Records. Otherwise, your IP will be recorded as a spammer. Use mxtoolbox.com to monitor your IP.

Usage

Run the following command to see available options:

$ smtp_checker -h

Example:

$ smtp_checker -e [email protected] -v
220 mx.google.com ESMTP c24si3754682pfl.259 - gsmtp
