Email-list-verify

CLI-tool to Verify a list of emails in a file. email-list-verify is fast, lightweight, and helps validate emails stored in a plain text file where each email sits on a separate line (a single-column CSV does the trick too).

The validation accuracy is similar to that of the free services you can find in organic search results. We tested the accuracy on the sample of 1000 emails.

The output CSV file will have two unnamed columns holding emails and check results respectively.

In the check results you will get the three possible values:

• true, email is valid.
• false, email is invalid.
• null, email validation is disabled on a mail service provider, in many cases that can be considered true.

The email-list-verify script is multi-threaded and allows controlling its concurrency via the -c option, see CLI Usage.

While most of the options are straightforward, -c could use additional explanation: it controls the number of threads for executing email-list-verify and defaults to 20. Depending on the speed of your internet connection, you can set it to lower (slower) or higher values (faster).
