My email address reachability is "unknown", its a fastmail hosted account. Quite a commonly used service.
Is an unknown classification supposed to be treated as "I don't know, probably safe" or "I don't know, probably don't accept it" ?
- adamparsons 5y ago{ "input": "***redacted***", "is_reachable": "unknown", "misc": { "is_disposable": false, "is_role_account": false }, "mx": { "accepts_mail": true, "records": [ "in2-smtp.messagingengine.com.", "in1-smtp.messagingengine.com." ] }, "smtp": { "error": { "type": "TimeoutError", "message": "future has timed out" } }, "syntax": { "address": "***redacted***", "domain": "***redacted***", "is_valid_syntax": true, "username": "***redacted***" } } I'm going to guess that fastmail has blocked you lol
- antihero 5y agoI mean I get the TimeoutError on the demo page.
- spondyl 5y agoI have my email with Fastmail too and issuing a RCPT TO command via telnet returns the following: > 451 4.7.1 <marcus@utf9k.net>: Recipient address rejected: Temporary deferral, try again soon
- X-Cubed 5y agoThe library identifies itself to the mail server with a from address of "testing@example.com". It's probably a good idea to use an email address you own as the from address if you want to use this in production, eg: "testing@mycorp.com", to avoid this grey-listing.
- mkl 5y agoIndeed: { "input": "testing@example.com", "is_reachable": "unknown", ... }
- drusepth 5y agoI also get "unknown" for my Zoho Mail addresses; also a pretty popular provider. { "input": "***redacted***", "is_reachable": "unknown", "misc": { "is_disposable": false, "is_role_account": false }, "mx": { "accepts_mail": true, "records": [ "mx.zoho.com.", "mx2.zoho.com." ] }, "smtp": { "error": { "type": "SmtpError", "message": "permanent: 5.7.1 Email cannot be delivered. Reason: Email detected as Spam by spam filters. " } }, "syntax": { "address": "***redacted***", "domain": "***redacted***", "is_valid_syntax": true, "username": "***redacted***" } }
