const email = 'example@example.com';
const isValid = mailchecker.isValid(email);
console.log(`Is the email valid? ${isValid}`);Check Disposable Email

const email = 'example@disposable.com';
const isDisposable = mailchecker.isDisposable(email);
console.log(`Is the email disposable? ${isDisposable}`);The email-verifier package provides email verification and validation services. It checks the syntax, domain, and mailbox existence. Compared to mailchecker, it offers more comprehensive email validation features, including SMTP checks.
