Mail Addresses

You can check email addresses by providing the --include-mail flag. We use https://github.com/reacherhq/check-if-email-exists for email checking. You can test your mail address with curl:

Terminal window
 curl -X POST \
  'https://api.reacher.email/v0/check_email' \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -H 'authorization: test_api_token' \
  -d '{"to_email": "box@domain.test"}'

Some settings on your mail server (such as SPF Policy, DNSBL) may prevent your email from being verified. If you have an error with checking a working email, you can exclude specific addresses with the --exclude flag or skip all email addresses by removing the --include-mail flag.
