I wrote a short script that tries to check if an email address exists or
not.
It takes the domain of the inputted email and looks up the registered
mail exchange.
It then connects via smtp and attempts the "RCPT TO:<entered email>"
command and based on the response decides if the email exists or not.
I was trying to be more OOP in my approach but not sure I've been
entirely successful.
Thanks for your time.
