Email exist verification
does anyone knows a way to verify if an email exists? like is there such a package or services with API provided? lots of package i found but not really being maintained anymore since years ago 🙏

to verify, you need to send the email and let the user redirect back
and you have stuff like email redirect, so sending to [email protected] can lead to somewhere else
ahh, i see
cuz what i'm doing is setting a newsletter for people to sign up with mailchimp
using mailchimp api
there are paid services like https://www.emailhippo.com/products/core
Stop emails bouncing | Fast, safe email checking | CORE | Email Hippo
Experience secure, easy email list cleaning. Check up to 500,000 unique email addresses as self-serve, or larger files. No charge for checking duplicates.
however, if you need it for a newsletter, the most sure way to know if a user actually has that emails is what @nyx said
ooh interesting
e.g. you can have an email with a Button which links something like:
mysite.com/api/newsletter/signup?token=someJWTtoken
and on that api endpoint verify the token and save the user data to db
or call mailchimp api, w/e you need
hmm i think i got what i need now
thanks @JulieCezar @nyx (Rustular DevRel) 🔥
