I use email validation via MailGun for exactly this purpose with a productized service business. If we don't have a good email, then we can't deliver the service once complete. That leads to angry customers, even if the issue was a typo when they created the account. Easier to try and catch it during signup rather than at the time of delivery when emails start bouncing and you have no way to get ahold of the person.
- tyingq 5y agoMailcheck is also helpful to catch things like "user@gnail.com" and other common typos when the user types it in: https://github.com/mailcheck/mailcheck https://github.com/mailcheck/mailcheck Fork modified for React: https://github.com/eligolding/react-mailcheck#readme https://github.com/eligolding/react-mailcheck#readme
- justinator 5y agoI somewhat lol'd when the demo allowed "user@gnail.com" just fine. Guess kickstarter isn't using mailcheck anymore. Looks like it's an open issue: https://github.com/mailcheck/mailcheck/issues/179 https://github.com/mailcheck/mailcheck/issues/179
- tyingq 5y agoOh, yeah, that's not good. Not sure why they didn't just repoint to the suggested https://codepen.io/ianneub/pen/BajKKBy https://codepen.io/ianneub/pen/BajKKBy demo.
