Email Insights

The Email Insights module validates email addresses and surfaces fraud-related risk signals. It checks whether an email address is valid and deliverable, and returns risk codes that identify disposable addresses, tumbled addresses, high-risk domains, and other fraud indicators.

Global Email Validation and Fraud Insights (Legacy)

This variant validates email addresses globally and returns both a pass/fail verification result and detailed risk codes. Required inputs: Full name, personal email.
