Perform email address validation/verification via SMTP.
The `SMTPValidateEmail\Validator` class retrieves MX records for the email domain and then connects to the
domain's SMTP server to try figuring out if the address really exists.
Earlier versions (before 1.0) used the `SMTP_Validate_Email` class name (and did not use namespaces and other now-common PHP features). Care has been taken to keep the old API and migrating old code should be painless. See ["Migrating to 1.0 from older versions"](#migrating-to-1.0-from-older-versions) section. Or just use/download the ancient [0.7 version](https://github.com/zytzagoo/smtp-validate-email/releases/tag/v0.7).
## Features
* Not actually sending the message, gracefully resetting the SMTP session when done
* Command-specific communication timeouts implemented per relevant RFCs
* Catch-all account detection
* Batch mode processing supported
* Logging/debugging support
* No external dependencies
* Covered with unit/functional tests
## Installation
Install via [composer](https://getcomposer.org/):
`composer require zytzagoo/smtp-validate-email --update-no-dev`
## Usage examples
### Basic example
```php
debug = true;
$results = $validator->validate();
var_dump($results);
// Get log data (log data is always collected)
$log = $validator->getLog();
var_dump($log);
```
### Multiple recipients and other details
```php
validate();
var_dump($results);
/**
* The `validate()` method accepts the same parameters
* as the constructor, so this is equivalent to the above:
*/
$emails = [
'someone@example.org',
'someone.else@example.com'
];
$sender = 'sender@example.org';
$validator = new SmtpEmailValidator();
$results = $validator->validate($emails, $sender);
var_dump($results);
```
## Migrating to 1.0 from older versions
Earlier versions used the global `SMTP_Validate_Email` classname.
You can keep using that name in your existing code and still switch to the newer (composer-powered) version by using [aliasing/importing](http://php.net/manual/en/language.namespaces.importing.php) like this:
Require the composer package:
`composer require zytzagoo/smtp-validate-email --update-no-dev`
And then in your code:
```php
