  ... not with 100% accuracy, but it's totally plausible that you can do substantially better than random (or a simple regex). So there is incremental value here.

  That's the point: Mailgun's Validation API does catch that joe@yahoo.cm is incorrect and suggests a correction. Try it: http://mailgun.github.io/validator-demo/ http://mailgun.github.io/validator-demo/

    I see that as the only valuable part of this service, and I can instead use it statically via mailcheck JavaScript: https://github.com/Kicksend/mailcheck https://github.com/Kicksend/mailcheck
