Email Validator FAQ-1

Can Email Validator validate a text file of email addresses?

Why does Email Validator returns every Yahoo Address as correct. Even an Invalid Email Address like asfsasga@yahoo.com?

Some mail servers always return a positive response that a mailbox exists, and it is only until an email is sent to a mailbox, that the server responds with a negative response saying a mailbox does not exist. Microsoft's exchange server is notorious for doing this. However, we have optimized Email Validator control to help with this situation, and return faster results against those known servers.
