emailExists

Checks if a MX record exists for the domain of an email address.

If the user enters an email address like "user@example.tld", Formhandler checks if a valid MX record exists for the domain "example.tld".

This doesn't ensure that the mailbox "user@example.tld" exists, but at least makes sure that there is a mailserver running.

Version added

1.1.0

Important

If your webserver runs on Windows, you need at least PHP 5.3.0 to use this error check.
