//save email address in database.

How do I use Email Validator?

Email Validator can only be used programmatically from a .NET environment, including, but not limited to, ASP.NET, win forms, console applications, and web services. Here are two brief examples for using Email Validator from C# and Visual Basic. For more examples,
[C#]
//set the email address
string EmailAddress = "test@hotmail.com";
//validate
MXValidateLevel level = mx.Validate( EmailAddress , MXValidateLevel.Mailbox );
if( level == MXValidateLevel.Mailbox)
{
Console.WriteLine( "Valid Email Address");
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine( "Not Valid Email Address");
}

[Visual Basic]

'set the email address
Dim EmailAddress As String = "test@hotmail.com"

'validate
Dim level As MXValidateLevel = mx.Validate(EmailAddress, MXValidateLevel.Mailbox)
If level = MXValidateLevel.Mailbox Then Console.WriteLine("Valid Email Address")
Else
Console.WriteLine("Not Valid Email Address")
End If

Will Email Validator filter out all my bad email addresses?

Email Validator will filter out email addresses that are rejected by mail servers. Unfortunately Email Validator cannot detect hard bounces. Email Validator does not send an email, it only uses the best SMTP commands to *attempt* to send an email without actually sending one. Once the receiving mail server either accepts or denies the attempted send, Email Validator cleanly closes the mail server connection, without sending an email.
