Free email verifier. Domain evidence, clearly labelled.
Paste a list or drop a CSV. Check syntax, live mail routing, disposable providers and address type without mistaking a clean domain for a verified mailbox.
A free online tool by Digital HeroesThis checker answers a narrow question honestly: does the address have a supported shape, and does its domain publish evidence that it accepts mail? It also flags disposable providers, role mailboxes, administrative addresses, likely typos and stable duplicates. It cannot prove that one named mailbox exists, so every row keeps Mailbox: not checked until a separate mailbox-verification service supplies that evidence.
Up to 500 logical rows and a 1 MiB UTF-8 .csv or .txt file per run. Oversized inputs are rejected rather than silently truncated.

What does each check do?
- Syntax. Common unquoted ASCII mailbox shapes are checked. Quoted and SMTPUTF8 local parts are labelled unsupported, not falsely invalid. Internationalised domains are converted to punycode.
- Mail routing. Cloudflare DNS-over-HTTPS is queried first, with Google as fallback. Explicit MX records pass; a sole null MX fails. If MX is absent, A and AAAA implicit routing are checked.
- Transient DNS. Timeout, SERVFAIL, REFUSED and malformed responses become DNS retry or manual review, never a false invalid.
- Address type. Named, role, automated and administrative/abuse mailboxes are kept separate. Administrative addresses are not called spam traps.
- SPF and DMARC. Optional recipient-domain context only. Presence or absence never changes domain hygiene or mailbox status.
- Deduplication. Gmail dots and plus tags are canonicalised. Plus tags on other domains remain distinct because their semantics are provider-specific.
Privacy: full addresses stay in this browser tab and are not sent to a Digital Heroes server. Cloudflare or Google receives the queried domain plus ordinary network metadata such as your IP and request origin; the local part is not sent in DNS requests. Analytics, session recording, chat, translation, external fonts and map embeds are disabled on this page.
