Emalidate

Fast, simple, accurate & GDPR compliant e-mail validation tool

Instantly verify emails entered at your site. Ensure that your customers didn’t mistype the address or forgot to enter part of the e-mail. Check MX records, disposable or free e-mails, catch-all addresses, etc. In compliance with GDPR emalidate does not store checked addresses at any point.

What is being verified?

The Emalidate is a service for verifying email addresses. It takes an email address as an input and returns a detailed report about its validity and deliverability including info on domain existence, a list of MX servers, the name of the MX server contacted, info on whether the email address is free or disposable, does the domain have a "catch-all" address, and the name of the email provider (in case of domains using some hosted email providers).

Is emalidate free?

We are currently in the final testing phase, and during this period, the service will be free of charge with a maximum of 2,000 credits per month. Once the service is fully launched, pricing is projected as follows: Free Plan with 2,000 credits per month, Professional Plan with 200,000 credits per month for $24.95, and Unlimited Plan with unlimited credits for $49.95. Credit spending is as follows:

Authorization token
generation 1 point

Email address format
validation 2 points

Deliverability
verification 4 points

Particular providers are known for not allowing deliverability notification; in that case, only the email address format validation is performed regardless of the requested command.

How does it work?

Analyzing format

First, we validate the email address format to make sure that it is an actual email address with the acc name, @ sign, and a domain name)

Checking domain

Next, we check whether the domain exists, does it have MX records defined, and whether it is a free or disposable mail domain

Verifying e-mail

If verification was requested, we contact the MX servers and check whether the email address is valid or not
