Email Verifier

A professional-grade Apify Actor that verifies email addresses with comprehensive validation.

How it works

Professional-grade email validation with multiple checks:

• ✅ Format Validation - RFC-compliant email format checking
• ✅ DNS/MX Record Verification - Checks if domain exists and has mail servers (enabled by default)
• ✅ Disposable Email Detection - Identifies temporary/disposable email addresses
• ✅ Provider Detection - Identifies email providers (Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, etc.)
• ✅ Role-based Detection - Identifies generic addresses (admin@, info@, etc.)
• ⚙️ Mailbox Validation (Optional) - Connects to mail server to verify mailbox exists

Input

{
"emails":["user@example.com","test@gmail.com"],
"checkDomain":true,
"validateSMTP":true
}

Parameters:

• emails (required) - Array of email addresses to validate
• checkDomain (optional, default: true) - Enable DNS/MX record checking
• validateSMTP (optional, default: true) - Enable Mailbox Validation

Output

All results include these fields:

{
"email":"user@example.com",
"quality":"good",
"result":"ok",
"resultcode":1,
"hasMx":true,
"mailboxResult":null,
"free":false,
"role":false,
"provider":null,
"error":null
}

Field Descriptions:

• email - Email address (normalized to lowercase)
• quality - "good" (valid) or "bad" (invalid)
• result - "ok", "domain_not_found", "disposable", "invalid_format", "no_mx_records"
• resultcode - 1 (valid)
• hasMx - true if domain has MX records
• mailboxResult - SMTP status: "found", "not_found", "blocked", "skipped", or null
• free - true if from free provider (Gmail, Yahoo, etc.)
• role - true if role-based address (admin@, info@, etc.)
• provider - Detected provider name or null
• error - Error message or null

Example Scenarios:

Valid email:

{"quality":"good","result":"ok","resultcode":1,"hasMx":true,"error":null}

Invalid domain:

{"quality":"bad","result":"domain_not_found","resultcode":6,"hasMx":false,"error":"Domain does not exist"}

Disposable email:

{"quality":"bad","result":"disposable","resultcode":6,"error":"Disposable email address detected"}

With Mailbox Validation:

{"mailboxResult":"found"}// Mailbox verified
{"mailboxResult":"blocked"}// Server blocked verification
