This class connects to the mail server and checks whether the mailbox exists or not. Installation ============ [](#installation) Require this package in your `composer.json` and update composer. ``` "madeitbelgium/verifyemail": "~1.0" ``` Publish the config file. Set the correct email address. ``` php artisan vendor:publish ``` Documentation ============= [](#documentation) Usage ----- [](#usage) ``` use MadeITBelgium\VerifyEmail\Facades\VerifyEmail; $ve = VerifyEmail::verify('some.email.address@example.com'); ``` OR (You can set another second email address or change the port) ``` $ve = VerifyEmail::verify('some.email.address@example.com', 'my.email.address@my-domain.com', 26); ``` This will return a boolean. True if the email is valid, false otherwise. The first email address '' is the one to be checked, and the second '' is an email address to be provided to the server. This email needs to be valid and from the same server that the script is running from. To make sure your server is not treated as a spam or gets blacklisted check the score of your server here If you want to get any errors, call this function after the verify function: ``` print_r(VerifyEmail::getErrors()); ``` This will return an array of all errors (if any): ``` Array ( [0] => No suitable MX records found. ) ``` If you want to get all debug messages of the connection, call this function: ``` print_r(VerifyEmail::getDebug()); ``` This will return an array of all messages and values that used during the process. ``` Array ( [0] => initialized with Email: h*****@gmail.com, Verifier Email: sam@verifye.ml, Port: 25 [1] => Verify function was called. [2] => Finding MX record... [3] => Found MX: alt4.gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com [4] => Connecting to the server... [5] => Connection to server was successful. [6] => Starting veriffication...

[14] => Looking for 250 response... [15] => Found! Email is valid. ) ``` And to see the *raw* debug messages of the server commands sent ``` print_r(VerifyEmail::getDebug(true)); ``` which will return an array: ``` Array ( [helo] => 250 mx.google.com at your service [mail_from] => 250 2.1.0 OK a68si4170774ioe.18 - gsmtp [rcpt_to] => 250 2.1.5 OK a68si4170774ioe.18 - gsmtp [quit] => 4 ) ``` Notes: ------ [](#notes) - Some mail servers will silently reject the test message, to prevent spammers from checking against their users' emails and filter the valid emails, so this function might not work properly with all mail servers. - You server must be configured properly as a mail server to avoid being blocked or blacklisted. This includes things like SSL, SPF records, Domain Keys, DMARC records, etc. To check your server use this tool Support ======= [](#support) Support github or mail: Contributing ============ [](#contributing) Please try to follow the psr-2 coding style guide.
