  • Validates email was not generated by disposable email service using disposable-email-domains.
  • Validates MX records are present on DNS.
  • Validates SMTP server is running.
  • Validates mailbox exists on SMTP server.
  • Native typescript support.

  // }

  // Can also be called with these default options
  await validate({
    email: 'name@example.org',
    sender: 'name@example.org',
    validateRegex: true,
    validateMx: true,
    validateTypo: true,
    validateDisposable: true,
    validateSMTP: true,
  })
}

If you want to validate domains with TLDs that are not supported by default, you can use additionalTopLevelDomains option:

await validate({
  email: 'name@example.ir',
  sender: 'name@example.ir',
  validateRegex: true,
  validateMx: true,
  validateTypo: true,
  validateDisposable: true,
  validateSMTP: true,
  additionalTopLevelDomains: [ 'ir' ]
})

For a list of TLDs that are supported by default you can see here.

Default options can be found here
