Kayza,
There are several methods and tools you can use to validate an email address.
- Online services that automate the process of checking email addresses for validity, such as Verifalia, Email Checker, Email Hippo, Hunter Email Verifier:, Verify Email Address, etc.
- Manual Validation: This involves checking email addresses manually for validity
- Check the syntax: Ensure that the email address follows the standard syntax rules. The email address should contain an @ symbol and a valid domain name.
- Send a confirmation email: Send a confirmation email to the email address and wait for a response. If the email b ounces back or you don't receive a response, the email address is likely invalid.
- Check the domain: Use a WHOIS lookup tool to check the domain name for validity and activity. If the domain is inactive or has expired, the email address may be invalid.
Using the Manual Validation approach, you could use R:BASE Functions to accomplish your goals of collecting valid email addresses.
I hope it helps!
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak
