Hi,

This API is useful only for email validation. Sending emails is out of the scope of this API.

PS: Sorry for the late reply, it seems that I don’t get a reply notification

Also, it is used for only Email Validation or I can send the mail as well if you have some steps/doc ?

Thanks Nathan,

But if I want to send my custom mail to the user, is it useful, and how can I implement it?

Hi,

In this scenario, this API can be useful in the user registration step. How?

• It will validate if the email is correctly formatted (this can complement any validation that you’ll perform on your side).
• It will help identify mistypes in the email (e.g.: some.mail@gmaiil.com) because it checks for MX records, and if there are no records, the address is probably not correct

Since you have a confirmation step (and you should), there is no need to ask the SMTP server if the account exists (this funcionallity is available only for MEGA subscription) but to avoid one-of registration accounts using temporary/disposable email accounts this API can help you, because that’s one of the validations that we do

Here is an example response:

{
    "email": "mail@domain.com",
    "valid": true, // Email correctly formatted
    "disposable": true, // Belongs to a disposable email service
    "mx_records": true, // Has MX records, migth have emails associated with it
    "exists": null // SMTP check, available for MEGA subscription using the async reports
}

Hope that can help you decide,

Best Regards
