How to verify an email address (before you send an email)

Stumbled across a cool tool today called “Verify Email Address.” Okay, so the name of the product isn’t sexy; it does not matter to me just so long that it works. This is how to use it: step-by-step.

1. Go to Verify-Email.org and type in an email address.

2. Verify-Email goes to the mail server, checks to see if the address is legitimate, then returns a report that says “Ok” if its a valid email address or “Bad” if its not. If you are emailing passive candidates a lot or trying to track down people from old documents found online, this FREE product should (at least) let you know that you are not wasting your time in sending your email; only that the person on the other end does not want to reply. (Hey, it happens.) Add this one to your bag of tricks people.

UPDATE: Do not use this tool! Check the comments section for a VERY important update!
