Description:

This free online tool attempts to validate whether or an email address is valid or not. Our control testing found it to be generally reliable. However, depending on the settings of the target mail server, the response may indicate whether or not the domain mail server is valid, not the individual email address. We found this to be the case with a non-existent yahoo email address where a false positive was received.

The site tracks millions of websites but there is no guarantee it will have any specific one. This could be useful on certain cyber investigations including when a shady operator has taken a site offline.
