Check if an email mailbox exists by connecting to its SMTP server
How SMTP Verification Works
SMTP verification connects directly to the mail server and simulates sending an email to check if the mailbox exists. This is the most accurate way to verify email addresses.
1. DNS Lookup
Find MX records via DNS
2. TCP Connect
Connect on port 25
3. EHLO/HELO
Greet the server
4. MAIL FROM
Set sender address
5. RCPT TO
Check if recipient exists
