Cross-language email validation. Backed by a [database](./list.txt) of **over 55 000 throwable email domains**.

- Validate the format of your email (uses [validator.js](https://github.com/chriso/validator.js/blob/master/validator.js#L38) email regex underneath and `FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL` for PHP)
- Validate if the email is not a **temporary mail** (yopmail-like..., [add your own dataset to list.txt](./list.txt))

This will be very helpful when you have to contact your users and you want to avoid errors causing lack of communication or want to block "spamboxes".

Upgrade
=======

[](#upgrade)

From 3.x to 4.x
---------------

[](#from-3x-to-4x)

import MailChecker
m = MailChecker.MailChecker()
if not m.is_valid('bla@example.com'):
  # ...
```

became:

```
import MailChecker
if not MailChecker.is_valid('bla@example.com'):
  # ...
```
