Fakemenot

Fakemenot is an simple email validator that checks for DNS as well as uses regex functions to check the email for the right length and accepted characters. It utilizes the free Email Validator API over at mashape: https://market.mashape.com/pozzad/email-validator-1.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'fakemenot'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install fakemenot

Usage

• Sign up for a free Mashape user account utilizing the Email Validator API (https://market.mashape.com/pozzad/email-validator-1) in order to acquire a free API Key.

• Create a fakemenote config file and add your API key. For example:

# config/fakemenot_config.yml
