Free Email Validator
Enter an email address to validate it. The tool checks format syntax, resolves MX records to verify the domain accepts mail, detects disposable email services (like Mailinator), and flags role-based addresses (like info@ or admin@). Useful for cleaning mailing lists or validating form submissions.

questions
Does this tool send an email to verify the address?
No. It validates the format, checks DNS/MX records, and cross-references a disposable domain list. It does not send probe emails or connect to the target SMTP server.
What is a disposable email?
Disposable emails are temporary addresses from services like Mailinator, Guerrilla Mail, and Tempail. They're commonly used to bypass registration requirements and are usually discarded quickly.
Why flag role-based addresses?
Addresses like info@, support@, and admin@ typically go to shared inboxes or mailing lists rather than individual people. Many email marketing platforms recommend excluding them to improve deliverability.
