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!
