Mailgunner here. Perhaps we should have given it a different name? We do not guarantee that the address is valid. But we surely beat your regexp. Why?
Simply because we're an ESP and have a huge database of valid MX hosts and the most common misspellings for them that are NOT valid MX hosts. And we give you suggestions to implement autocompletion/autocorrection.
Besides, many of our customers reach out to our support asking for regexp suggestions. So we figured it would be cool to offer this to everyone for free, so we launched it.
- Zikes 13y agoActually I think you've got the name spot on, I had the wrong term. What I was looking for was confirmation email, not validation. And yes, your service is a pretty big step up from regular validation regexps. I didn't see the value in that before, but that's my own fault. I now see there's a lot of potential for a service like this, and I hope it's put to good use.
