@c_mos Unfortunately, Reacher only offers an API today, so some basic programming skills are needed. Code snippets are available on the playground, so once a coding environment is set up, a simple copy/paste will do! I'm taking your feedback into account, a "drag-n-drop your CSV/XLS list" kind of UI has been requested a lot.

@c_mos @amaurymartiny would even be nice to have a free-to-use UI for looking up a single email address on the landing page, just to see how it all works and cater to the one-off user who might just need to look up a few email addresses.

@taykcrane Hey Taylor! Have you checked https://reacher.email? I believe the playground on the right is exactly what you're looking for!

@amaurymartiny Ah! I actually just thought that was a static screenshot, I didn't look hard enough. I just ran a few email addresses for domains I own, and it seems like the only thing that changes is the flag "is_deliverable", and it seems not to be accurate? For example it sets taylor@outro.co to be false, even though that's my email address. Maybe I'm looking at the wrong property.

Thanks, pretty interesting and great design. Curious, why would someone pay if this is open sourced? Am I missing something?

@johnmerced That's a great question! There are 2 reasons: 1. The source code is only half of the equation in verifying email. Reacher additionally takes care of maintaining healthy servers, rotating IPs, and other infrastructure-related heavy-lifting to avoid getting blacklisted. 2. The open-source code is under the AGPL-3.0 license. If you want to use Reacher commercially, you're legally obliged either open-source your code (AGPL is a "viral" license), or purchase a commercial license here https://reacher.email/commercial....

?makers Do you have a timeline for bulk email uploading? Any chance for a Hubspot integration similar to Neverbounce?

The website and the pricing are really nice! Without going into the details of the "secret sauce", I'm just curious how are you different compared to other similar email checking services?

This is really interesting. Unfortunately, I don't do Rust. Would be really great to see this happen in NodeJs. Anyways... Thanks, you open-sourced it.

@csaba_kissi Thanks for the kind words! For people not writing Rust (which is a lot of people, I reckon), I also provide a Dockerfile to easily deploy it anywhere. Check it out my repo https://github.com/amaurymartiny...

Hey Product Hunt! 👋 First off, a special thank you to @fisch0920 for hunting Reacher! 🙏 I have been working on Reacher since the lockdown in spring, so today I'm super thrilled to launch. 🎉 Reacher allows you to check if an email address is deliverable or not, it's useful for: 🙅‍♀️ preventing spam sign-ups on your website, 🧹 and cleaning up mailing lists from junk emails. This has been a long journey. It started as I was looking for an open-source alternative to Hunter, NeverBounce and Clearout, but couldn't find anything reliable, so I wrote one myself. When I uploaded it on Github, it received some positive traction. I then met @fisch0920, who presented Saasify.sh to me. One week later, Reacher was live! Some more details about Reacher: 🎯 Accurate - it actually connects to the mail server to check deliverability 🦀 Written in Rust 🕶️ Privacy-focused 🧅 Uses Tor to avoid getting blacklisted 🛠 Scales well 📊 Checks MX, SMTP, catch-all, DEA... and more 📝 100% Open-Source 😺 Free for personal use I will be here all day to answer your questions! 💪 - Amaury

Pretty neat. Added to my collection to give it a real-life test once the need arrives :) I like your free limit. I'd say it's more than enough for personal and ocassional use.
