An email verifier checks whether an email address can receive mail without sending a message. Proofy validates the address format, confirms the domain and MX records, and checks the receiving mail server to classify the address as valid, invalid, risky, disposable, catch-all, or role-based.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client.
