Inspiration
We used the speed criterion for winning and the various methods, both those that worked and those that did not work, to decide how to put together this program.
What it does
This program returns the validity of each email provided very quickly.
How we built it
My teammate, Jacob focused on attempting to learn new methods for email validation, while I worked on attempting to replicate these ideas into code.
Challenges we ran into
We struggled to get SMTP to work on our internet connection, so we could not ping any of the emails, which required us to create a unique method of validation.
What we learned
Email validation is very difficult and requires extensive machine learning to perform on a large scale.
What's next for Email Verification Bot
We plan to implement a way to separate emails that are more likely to be valid from emails that are more likely to not be valid.
