A Java Program to Verify an Email Address Exists

$250-750 USD

Paid on delivery
I need a Java application that for a given email address can verify that the mailbox actually exists without sending an email to the user. I think the trick is either in JavaMail, or in using telnet. Note that you there are packages which verify the format of an email address, or can tell you that the smtp server for that address exist; this is part of what I'm looking for, but the main part that I'm looking for is to verify that the mailbox actually exists (Without sending an email). Acceptance test would be that I feed 100 email addresses from different domains, and see the result. Some of these email addresses actually exist, and some don't, and the program should be able to correctly tell me if that mailbox exists or not. You don't need to set up any kind of sophisticated input method; command line would do fine; I can just feed your program one email address after another on command line.

Dear Employer , Regarding your project i can guarantee you that there's no way to make sure 100% that this is a valid email or not , but we can get close to 95% if it really exist email by using MX Record Checking and REGEX, it actually checks the Domain name and DNS server. we have been in this industry for more than 7 years and such a task is a daily job for us. As you can see we have small amount of reviews but that because we have joined freelancer lately , but definitely you can see good reviews on our account. This is our second project by JAVA here , but the first is still under construction , but you will find good reviews if you opened our profile , we technically experts in BOTS and verifications Our team is fully available to be dedicated on your project to deliver in the time we will discuss. We are waiting to hear from you to discuss further requirement for your project. Best Regards

The SMTP protocol has a VRFY command which is meant to do exactly what you are asking, but I believe it is not well supported. A more reliable method is to use the RCPT command, where we basically initiate, but do not complete, the process of sending an email. The server is technically supposed to respond with an error code if the recipient mailbox does not exist. Unfortunately, neither of these methods, nor any other method, is guaranteed to work. Servers may respond with false positives, specifically to avoid such 'discovery' of mailboxes. You are then left with a situation where a negative result guarantees the mailbox does not exist, but a positive response may indicate either a valid mailbox or a false positive. It may be possible to make an educated guess about whether or not a given server responds with false positives by testing for the existence of random mailboxes. However, there are also other concerns, such as the fact that servers may ban your IP if you issue too many RCPT commands. In short, there isn't a *guaranteed* method to determine if a mailbox exists or not. The above procedure would work in some cases, but I can't say how reliable it would be.
