I checked two email accounts on hotmail domain and always response not exist and this is false!

Regards

I'm checking aol.com and mail.com emails and always getting connection error connection ECONNREFUSED and callback is called with false value, which , I think, is not what we expect to get in case when mx server refuses connections.

Can anyone help to troubleshoot this situation, as I keep getting false value for existing emails.

@vic08 how did you solve this issue? Or this issue still hanging around?

vic08 commented

I ended up writing everything from scratch to minimise false results. So if you face any troubles, I can share the way I solved the problem

@vic08 actually I am having issue when verifying gmail powered custom emails or yahoo emails. The tool is marking all emails as valid from these two sources. And interestingly when using online email verification tools like http://email-checker.net/ or http://verify-email.org/ or http://www.verifyemailaddress.org/, they are also showing such emails as valid.

E.g alkjsfdlkasjlkdfjasdljflkasjflkjlksfjafdlajsfjl@yahoo.com or alkjsfdlkasjlkdfjasdljflkasjflkjlksfjafdlajsfjl@punch.cool (our company domain powered by google) is shown valid not only on my tool but on all above famous online email verification tools. And of course these are invalid emails.

So if possible, you can share you code or algorithm. Or if possible refactor out the domain specific logic and make an open source repo out of your existing tool.

Thanks a lot @vic08 for replying.

@vic08, @masalinas I second @hhsadiq 's question...

I'm pretty much busy now to prepare a public package. If you want faster results, just drop me your email, I'll send you the module.

@vic08 - need that code! justin@indospace.io

Do you have a public package available now?

vic08 commented

@knoxcard , no sorry, it was pretty long ago, and to be honest I was not 100% satisfied with the stability of that solution

Just throwing this out there!

Looks like Microsoft has a graph api similar to Facebook
https://github.com/microsoftgraph/msgraph-sdk-javascript

Looking at the documentation, it appears you can verify user accounts as well.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/resources/users?view=graph-rest-1.0

This is neat and all, but in this case, imagine having to connect to an API for every major mail service.

Even if there arent many, some are not even available.
It would also require individual access tokens per API as well.
