Mail-tester - An easier way to test emails

Mail-tester is an npm module, that uses the [MailTest-API] to easily check whether an email being used in your node application is

• a valid email ID
• a disposable email ID
• a robot domain
• an invalid email ID

Installation

$ npm install mail-tester 

API

First require the package in your application

$ var mailTester = require('mail-tester');

The mailTester object exposes the following functions:

mailTester.check(email, callback)

This function takes an email and a callback as parameters. It checks the email against the [Mailtest-API] and passes the result through a parameter in the callback function.

Example:

var mailTester = require('mail-tester');
  
var email = '[email protected]';
  
mailTester.check(email, function(data) {
  console.log(data);
})

The output of the above snippet would be

{ 
  code: '01', 
  status: 'ACTIVE', 
  message: 'OK' 
}
