[DBTech] DragonByte Mail [Paid] 5.1.1

[Alpha1]

Mhm. Now it does not take action on disposable emails. Example:
{"can_connect_smtp":null,"domain":"embarqmail.com","email":"xxx@embarqmail.com","has_inbox_full":null,"is_catch_all":null,"is_deliverable":null,"is_disabled":null,"is_disposable":true,"is_free_email":true,"is_role_account":false,"is_safe_to_send":false,"is_spamtrap":false,"is_valid_syntax":true,"mx_accepts_mail":true,"mx_records":["mx.centurylink.net"],"overall_score":30,"status":"disposable","username":"xxx","verification_mode":"power"}

Clearly this should be a hard bounce because its a disposable email that cannot be delivered to. Its not safe to send now and will never be safe to send. I find quite a few with dodgy disposable mail domains in the log. Quite a few are of the bugmenot.com type. (i.e. people share the login credentials so anyone can log into the forum account)

I'm not sure I agree with this. Are you 100% sure that absolutely no free email providers will be flagged as disposable via this validator?

I understand the difference between a publicly accessible disposable email and a free email like Google Mail, but I'm not confident they make that distinction.

I'd rather make a change to check is_deliverable.

Btw @Alpha1 in the next version I’ll also make a change that updates validation date when the user gets sent an email. It has to be sent by using setUser() which is most emails sent by XF and my addons.

An example of email not using that code is the email test feature.

That should reduce validation costs going forward I’ll see if I can reasonably add the criteria before releasing but I can’t promise that one.
