[![Circle CI](https://circleci.com/gh/kdisneur/email_checker/tree/master.svg?style=svg)](https://circleci.com/gh/kdisneur/email_checker/tree/master)



Simple library checking the validity of an email. Checks are performed in the

following order:



* REGEX: validate the emails has a good looking format

* MX: validate the domain sever contains MX records

* SMTP: validate the SMTP behind the MX records knows this email address (no

email sent)



:warning: That's rare but, some SMTP define a catchall email address. Meaning

all emails using this domain seems valid even if they are not.
