Yes, it would be nice if there was a syntax for sending a test message sort
of like an ACK that is not delivered to the recipient but merely results in
some status being sent back such as DELIVERABLE or NO SUCH USER or even
MAILBOX FULL.
An issue with the discussion that may be worth considering

Ah, I forgot about defaulting

No guarantee that there'll be a dot after the at. (Technically there's
no guarantee of an at sign either, but email addresses without at
signs

Send an e-mail using it? If the right person gets the e-mail, then
it's valid?

There is only one way to know that a string is a valid email address,
and that's to send an email to it.
Hi,
I'm building a simple project using smtplib and have a question. I've been
doing unit testing but I'm not sure how to check if an email message is valid.
Using regex sounds like a bad idea to me and the other options I found required
paying for third party services.
Could someone push me
OK. I've been doing some reading and that you should avoid regex to check email
addresses. So what I was thinking was something like this:
if type(email_recipient) != email.message.Message:
I just don't know why that particular line isn't working.
Thank you!
