Hey everyone \ud83d\udc4b Let\u2019s be honest\u200a\u2014\u200awe\u2019ve all, at some point, used disposable email services<\/strong> like temp-mail.org to get that extra free trial or bypass an email wall. While it may seem harmless from a user’s point of view, it\u2019s a real headache<\/em> for companies.<\/p>\n Free trial abuse, spam sign-ups, and inflated user metrics\u200a\u2014\u200athese aren\u2019t just minor inconveniences. For businesses, they\u00a0mean:<\/p>\n Wasted server resources and API\u00a0usageSkewed analytics and user engagement dataExtra customer support\u00a0costsReduced trust in the\u00a0platform<\/p>\n We realized just how widespread this issue is when we were personally exploiting it. That\u2019s when the light bulb went off. MailCheck<\/strong><\/a> is an API service that lets you verify email addresses in real time\u200a\u2014\u200aand detect whether they\u2019re legit, or just a disposable inbox waiting to be forgotten.<\/p>\n It goes way beyond basic syntax validation. We use a combination of:<\/p>\n Domain analysisMX record\u00a0checksBehavior trackingA constantly updated list of disposable email providers<\/p>\n The goal? Help you catch fake or throwaway signups\u200a\u2014\u200awithout slowing down your users\u2019 experience.<\/p>\n All requests are sent\u00a0to:<\/p>\n https:\/\/api.mail-check.tech<\/p>\n Every request must include your API\u00a0key:<\/p>\n X-API-Key: your_api_key_here<\/p>\n We provide two levels of verification depending on your need for speed vs certainty.<\/p>\n Checks domain analysis, MX records, usage\u00a0patternsCompares against our list of known disposable email providersFast and perfect for sign-up\u00a0forms<\/p>\n curl -X POST https:\/\/api.mail-check.tech\/api\/v0\/validate\/email { Includes everything from\u00a0S1Adds behavior-based analysisIdeal for higher-risk or suspicious emails<\/p>\n curl -X POST https:\/\/api.mail-check.tech\/api\/v0\/validate\/email\/tba { 1.

Say hello to MailCheck<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\ud83c\udfaf The\u00a0Problem<\/h3>\n
What if we could build a tool that prevents disposable emails before they even hit your\u00a0backend<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\ud83d\ude80 Introducing MailCheck<\/h3>\n
\ud83d\udee0\ufe0f How MailCheck Works<\/h3>\n
\ud83d\udccc Base\u00a0URL<\/h3>\n
\ud83d\udd10 Authentication<\/h3>\n
\u26a1 Verification Methods<\/h3>\n
1. S1 Verification (Standard)<\/h3>\n
Sample Request\u00a0(S1)<\/h4>\n
-H “Content-Type: application\/json”
-H “X-API-Key: your_api_key_here”
-d ‘{“email”: “user@example.com”}’<\/p>\nSample Response<\/h4>\n
“is_valid”: true,
“needs_TBA”: false,
“reason”: “Domain has valid MX records and passes all verification checks”
}<\/p>\n2. TBA Verification (Task-Based Authentication)<\/h3>\n
Sample Request\u00a0(TBA)<\/h4>\n
-H “Content-Type: application\/json”
-H “X-API-Key: your_api_key_here”
-d ‘{“email”: “user@example.com”}’<\/p>\nSample Response<\/h4>\n
“is_valid”: true,
“needs_TBA”: false,
“reason”: “Email passed Task-Based Authentication verification”
}<\/p>\n\ud83e\udde0 Recommended Workflow<\/h3>\n
2. If `is_valid = true` and `needs_TBA = false`, you’re good \u2705
3. If `is_valid = false`, reject the email \u274c
4. If `needs_TBA = true`, call the TBA endpoint for deeper verification \ud83d\udd0d<\/p>\n
and effective for cases when S1 checks return needs_TBA as true.<\/p>\n\ud83e\uddef Error\u00a0Handling<\/h3>\n
“detail”: “API key missing. Please provide a valid API key in the X-API-Key header.”
