Email Validator

Clean a list of email addresses you already have. For each address the actor checks practical RFC 5322 syntax, whether the domain can actually receive mail (MX records, with an A/AAAA fallback per RFC 5321) over DNS-over-HTTPS, whether the domain is a known disposable/temporary-mail provider, and whether the local part is a role mailbox (info@, support@, ...) rather than a person.

This actor validates addresses you supply. It does not find, guess, or harvest addresses.

Honest scope

It verifies the address and its domain, not the individual mailbox. It does not open an SMTP session or probe whether a specific inbox exists, so it will not claim a precise deliverability percentage. What it returns is exact: the syntax verdict and the domain's live mail records.

Input

• Email addresses: one per line.
• DNS resolver: Cloudflare or Google (the other is the fallback).
• Max checked addresses: cap on billed rows (0 = no cap).

Output

email, normalized, localPart, domain, syntaxValid, hasMx, mxHost, domainResolves, disposable, roleAccount, status, freeProvider, didYouMean, plus provenance (sourceUrl is the DoH MX query, retrievedAt, confidence, dataSource).

• freeProvider: true when the lowercased domain is on a fixed built-in list of free consumer mailbox providers such as gmail.com, outlook.com and yahoo.com.
• didYouMean: a corrected address, built by fixing a mistyped top-level label (.con to .com, .ne to .net, .ogr to .org, and similar) and then matching a known provider exactly one edit away, only when exactly one provider matches; otherwise null.

didYouMean is a suggestion for a likely typo, not a verdict. It never changes status, confidence or billing, and it is given whether or not the typed domain has MX records.

Billing

Pay per address actually checked. Addresses that fail the syntax check before any DNS work are written to the free rejected dataset and are not billed.

Sample output

A real run checking a mixed list (deliverable, disposable, and bad addresses):

email	syntax	MX	role	disposable	status
info@cloudflare.com	True	True	True	False	deliverable_domain
support@github.com	True	True	True	False	deliverable_domain
test@mailinator.com	True	True	False	True	disposable
x@guerrillamail.com	True	True	False	True	disposable

Malformed addresses route to the free reject dataset. Each checked row carries a sourceUrl (the live MX lookup), for example https://cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query?name=cloudflare.com&type=MX.
