<p><strong>Truelist Email Validator</strong> connects your WordPress site to the <a href="https://truelist.io" rel="nofollow ugc">Truelist</a> email validation API. It checks every email address submitted through your forms before it enters your database — blocking invalid, disposable, and fake addresses at the point of entry.</p>
<h4>Why validate emails?</h4>
<ul>
<li>Reduce bounce rates on your mailing lists</li>
<li>Keep your CRM and contact database clean</li>
<li>Stop disposable email signups (Mailinator, Guerrilla Mail, etc.)</li>
<li>Prevent fake registrations and comment spam</li>
</ul>
<h4>What gets validated</h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Invalid emails</strong> — addresses that don’t exist or have bad syntax</li>
<li><strong>Disposable emails</strong> — temporary addresses from throwaway services</li>
<li><strong>Role addresses</strong> — generic addresses like info@, admin@, support@</li>
<li><strong>Failed MX check</strong> — domains with no valid mail server</li>
<li><strong>Non-existent mailboxes</strong> — addresses where the mailbox doesn’t exist</li>
<li><strong>Failed SMTP check</strong> — addresses rejected by the mail server</li>
<li><strong>Bad syntax</strong> — addresses that don’t follow email formatting rules</li>
</ul>
<h4>Supported form plugins</h4>
<ul>
<li>Contact Form 7</li>
<li>Gravity Forms</li>
<li>WPForms</li>
<li>WordPress User Registration</li>
<li>WordPress Comments</li>
<li><strong>Universal mode</strong> — catches email fields from any other form plugin automatically</li>
</ul>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Real-time inline validation as visitors type (optional)</li>
<li>24-hour result caching — no redundant API calls</li>
<li>Fully configurable blocking rules — enable only what you need</li>
<li>Custom error messages</li>
<li>API key test button in settings</li>
<li>Fails open on API errors — your forms never break due to an outage</li>
</ul>
<h4>Requirements</h4>
<p>A free or paid <a href="https://truelist.io" rel="nofollow ugc">Truelist</a> account is required. Sign up at truelist.io to get your API key.</p>
<h3>External Services</h3>
<p>This plugin connects to the Truelist email validation API to check whether email addresses are deliverable. This service is required for the plugin to function.</p>
<p><strong>What data is sent:</strong> The email address submitted through your form is sent to the Truelist API for validation.</p>
<p><strong>When it is sent:</strong> An API request is made each time a user submits a form with an email field. Results are cached for 24 hours — repeat submissions with the same address do not trigger a new API call.</p>
<p><strong>Service provider:</strong> Truelist (https://truelist.io)</p>

Truelist Email Validator

Validate email addresses in real-time on WordPress forms using the Truelist API. Block invalid, disposable, and role-based emails.

UserCheck

<p>UserCheck blocks disposable and throwaway email addresses from your sign-up forms. The result: less spam, fewer fake accounts, and a cleaner user base.</p>
<h4>Supported plugins</h4>
<p>If you’re using any of these, UserCheck protects them automatically — nothing to configure:</p>
<ul>
<li>WordPress core (registration, comments, multisite signup, profile email change)</li>
<li>WooCommerce (classic checkout, Cart/Checkout Block, account registration, Edit-account email change)</li>
<li>Profile Builder (free + Pro)</li>
<li>Contact Form 7</li>
<li>WPForms</li>
<li>Elementor Pro Forms</li>
<li>Gravity Forms</li>
<li>Fluent Forms</li>
<li>Ninja Forms</li>
<li>Formidable Forms</li>
<li>MailPoet</li>
</ul>
<h4>Fallback for unsupported plugins</h4>
<p>For plugins without a built-in integration, a fallback check catches sign-ups from any other form on your site. It only runs when someone submits a form, so it won’t slow down your dashboard or background tasks. You can turn it off under Settings <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> UserCheck <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Coverage.</p>
<h4>Choose what to block</h4>
<p>Pick which kinds of email addresses get blocked: domains that can’t receive email, disposable addresses, public providers (Gmail, Yahoo, etc.), forwarding services that hide the real address, and known spammers. Domains on your UserCheck account blocklist are always blocked.</p>
<h4>Lightweight by design</h4>
<p>Emails are checked only when users submit a form (registration, comment, checkout) — never re-checked for existing users or orders. No background scans, no surprises.</p>
<h4>Resilient by design</h4>
<p>If our service is ever down or slow, your site keeps working: sign-ups go through and the error is logged for review. Each request times out after 2 seconds, so an unresponsive API can’t hold up your forms.</p>
<h4>Full email or domain only</h4>
<p>Send the full email (more accurate) or just the domain.</p>
<h4>Extensible</h4>
<p>Developers can plug UserCheck into any plugin’s validation hook by calling <code>UserCheck::instance()->evaluate_email( $email )</code> and acting on the returned <code>action</code>, <code>reason</code>, and <code>message</code>.</p>
<h4>Translation ready</h4>
<p>All text in the plugin can be translated into any language.</p>
<h4>Works out of the box</h4>
<p>No configuration required. A free API key unlocks higher request limits.</p>
<p>Powered by <a href="https://www.usercheck.com" rel="nofollow ugc">UserCheck</a>, which tracks new disposable email providers as they appear so your site’s protection stays current.</p>
<h3>Privacy Policy</h3>
<p>The plugin sends the email address (or just its domain, depending on your settings) to the UserCheck API for validation. The request User-Agent identifies the plugin version, WordPress version, site URL, and which integration triggered the check (e.g. <code>wp_registration</code>, <code>wc_checkout</code>, or <code>fallback_is_email/<plugin-slug></code> when the fallback fires for an unsupported plugin). No other end-user data is sent.
