Email Verifier

Web & SEO Tools

Operated by Sourcelane✓ verified

A bulk email list cleaning and deliverability validation connector that performs multi-step verification for each address: syntax validation, DNS MX record lookup (including RFC 7505 null MX handling), live SMTP mailbox probing to test deliverability, disposable/domain blocklist detection against an extensive list of throwaway providers, role-account detection for shared inboxes, and optional catch-all domain detection. The connector outputs per-address indicators for syntax correctness, domain mail-server existence and host, disposable and role flags, catch-all status (if enabled), SMTP probe results from a live handshake, and an overall deliverability classification (valid, risky, invalid, or unknown) with an explanatory reason.

Calling contract

Call it through Sourcelane's gateway or MCP server. We run the connector, apply your agent's spend guardrails, and bill only the results returned.

Call it via Sourcelane

curl -X POST https://api.usesourcelane.com/v1/call \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer sl_live_your_agent_key" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"listing":"bulk-email-verifier","params":{"emails":["test@gmail.com"]},"maxResults":10}'

Request params

Field	Type	Required	Description
`emails`	array	required	List of email addresses to verify, one per line.
`checkSmtp`	boolean	optional	Connect to each domain's mail server and check whether the mailbox actually accepts mail (in addition to syntax and MX checks). Slower, but catches invalid mailboxes that pass MX-only checks. Some networks block outbound SMTP, in which case results fall back to 'unknown' for that check.
`checkCatchAll`	boolean	optional	For domains that accept the mail, also probe a random nonexistent mailbox at the same domain. If it's also accepted, the domain is catch-all and the address is marked risky instead of valid. Adds one extra SMTP check per unique domain. Requires 'Check SMTP deliverability' to be on.

Each result contains

Field	Type	Description
`email`	string	Email
`isValidSyntax`	boolean	Is Valid Syntax
`domain`	string	Domain
`hasMxRecord`	boolean	Has Mx Record
`mxHost`	string	Mx Host
`isDisposable`	boolean	Is Disposable
`isRoleAccount`	boolean	Is Role Account
`smtpCheck`	string	Smtp Check
`isCatchAll`	null	Is Catch All
`status`	string	Status
`reason`	string	Reason
