  4. It is the response to RCPT TO that we are interested in. If the server sends back a 250, then that means we are good to send an email (the email address exists), otherwise the server will return a different status code (usually a 550), meaning the email address does not exist on that server. And that's email verification!

  5. By the way, my upvote is not for the simple validation, which anyone should be doing without thinking about it, but rather for correctly observing that you simply can never rely on server responses to determine email account status, if you could, every spammer in the world would use such a method to validate their email databases to avoid sending to dead emails, which costs them money.

  6. The only way to check this is to send an email to that address and make sure that you send a link that needs to be clicked to activate the account. There is no other way to check if an email is correct

    No, it is impossible in principle to check if an email exists - independent of language. There is simply no protocol to do it. There are some partial solutions, but none of them are reliable. See How to check if an email address exists without sending an email? for details.

  8. Validating that an email address is a legal (e.g., mailable) format is one thing, but it doesn't tell you that there's a mailbox at that address. The only way to know if an email address "exists" is to mail something to it. If it [eventually] bounces, you can be pretty sure that it doesn't exist.

  9. I am trying to verify if an email actually exists by first resolving its dns, then check if the email is valid using the below code: email = test@cisco.com domain = email.split("@")[-1]

  10. Sending a confirmation email. Ultimately, you should send a confirmation email with a one-time token to the given email address, and store that token in your database for future reference. If the user can click a link in the email sent (ie. can send the token back), he proves that the email address is valid and it actually belongs to him.

    3. Send a verification email to the address. This is the most effective way of seeing if someone is at the other end of the email address. If a confirmation email is not responded to in an orderly fashion -- 3 hours for example -- then there is probably some problem with the address.
