<p>This plugin uses the uProc for WordPress API <a href="https://uproc.io" rel="nofollow ugc">https://uproc.io</a> to check if an email address really exists or not.</p>
<p>The plugin integrates with the is_email() function of WordPress. It works seamlessly with:</p>
<ul>
<li>Contact Form 7</li>
<li>Jetpack/Grunion</li>
<li>WordPress registration forms</li>
<li>and with any other form which uses the is_email() function (no changes required).</li>
</ul>
<p>The plugin can also be integrated into 3rd party forms that do not use the is_email() function.</p>
<h4>How does it work?</h4>
<p>The uProc API real-time validation process includes all of the following tests:</p>
<ul>
<li>Syntax verification (IETF/RFC standard conformance)</li>
<li>DNS validation, including MX record lookup</li>
<li>Disposable email address (DEA) detection</li>
<li>Misspelled domain detection to prevent Typosquatting</li>
<li>Freemail address detection</li>
<li>SMTP connection and availability checking</li>
<li>Temporary unavailability detection</li>
<li>Mailbox existence checking</li>
<li>Catch-All testing</li>
<li>Greylisting detection</li>
<li>Block free domain emails (like Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, …)</li>
<li>Avoid email validations on Woocommerce orders</li>
</ul>
<p>The plugin requires an API Key (free, no credit card required):<br />

<p>We do not send any email to the recipient address during the entire validation process. All processing is done on our servers, your IP addresses and domains are not affected in any way by the Email-Validator service – absolutely no blacklisting risk for your IPs and domains.</p>

uProc for WordPress

I hope this plugin will be useful for your site.

You can validate emails on registration or comments.
Some cash is added to your account by default to test it.

The weak point: No other validation is supported yet when lots are available in the service catalog.

This will be solved soon. Mobile and landline phones validations are needed in my WordPress site.

Nice plugin, useful for my site

With the uProc for Wordpress plugin you can easily verify if an email address really exists and is valid. Additionally, you can check all existing too …

<p>Most email validators look for an <code>@</code> and a <code>.</code>(dot) some go further and blacklist certain domain names. But Mailgun’s Advanced email validation service goes deeper and looks for the existence of the domain name, presence of a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MX_record" rel="nofollow ugc">MX record</a> and the custom ESP(Email Service Provider) grammar.<br />
The grammar here is the rules defined by each email provider. For example, Yahoo Mail addresses can only contain letters, numbers, underscores, and one period.<br />
So <code>user.name.abc@yahoo.com</code> perfectly passes the <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_email" rel="nofollow ugc">is_email()</a> function but can never exist as it contains more than one period. Such addresses can’t escape Mailgun’s Email validation.</p>
<h4>Why use Mailgun’s email validation service?</h4>
<ul>
<li>Performs the usual email syntax check.</li>
<li>Checks the existence of the email domain. So <code>user@some-random-characters.com</code> can’t escape.</li>
<li>Checks if the email domain has a MX record. So <code>anything@example.com</code> is caught.</li>
<li>Checks if the username complies with the grammar of its ESP (Email Service provider). Eg Gmail doesn’t allow usernames less than 6 characters and hyphens so <code>small@gmail.com</code> and <code>hyphen-user@gmail.com</code> can’t get away.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Why use this plugin?</h4>
<ul>
<li>Integrates with the <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_email" rel="nofollow ugc">is_email()</a> function of WordPress. So it works seamlessly with Contact Form 7, Jetpack/Grunion contact forms, WordPress registration form and any form which uses the <code>is_email()</code> function.</li>
<li>Kicks spam before it is inserted into the database</li>
<li>Ensures that the commenting process is uninterrupted even if Mailgun suffers a <a href="http://status.mailgun.com" rel="nofollow ugc">downtime</a></li>
<li>Works completely transparent, nothing changes in the frontend</li>
</ul>
<p>This plugin requires a Mailgun Public API Key which can be obtained by <a href="https://mailgun.com/signup" rel="nofollow ugc">signing up at Mailgun</a>.</p>
<p>If you’re trying out this plugin on a local WAMP/LAMP/MAMP installation make sure your system is connected to the Internet for this plugin to contact Mailgun.</p>
