This tool is unnecessary work! There is a better tool https://github.com/syrusakbary/validate_email I did not know about earlier that uses SMTP replies to validate e-mails and works for any service.
Checks if an e-mail address exists or not.
pip install evalidator
Those who can't wait for the next release:
python setup.py install
$ evalidate someone@email.com
(where @email.com is one of below supported services)
This will tell you if the given e-mail address exists on the internet or not.
>>> import evalidator
>>> evalidator.validate('someone@email.com')
(where @email.com is one of below supported services)
- Google Mail (@gmail.com)
- Yahoo! Mail (@yahoo.com)
Please open a new issue if you would like to validate e-mail addresses for some other e-mail service.
