Hi Every one,
I've an issue with email validation.we have a free quiz on one of our website. to access that quiz user have to submit his/her name and email .then only he will get redirected to quiz page where he has to answer 10 question to get his happiness score.
Now here our pain is users are submitting false and non existing email s like bla...bla..@gmail.com , @hotmail.com . so is there any way to check whether the email is actually existent and valid ? . the form that we used were built on contact form 7 plugin (wordpress)
Any suggestions ?
