Hi,

I am using Flask_security for user creation. I am just wondering if there's a way to check if the email really exists or is it a fake email even before creating an account...

One way to tackle this issue is to send a activation email.. but we use postmarkapp to send emails and I don't want it to result in bounces..

I found https://pypi.python.org/pypi/validate_email and I tried it, but it takes a lot of time to return... perhaps this should be put as a background task by Celery....

Any more ideas ?

you could also use a js library on the front end to make sure the formatting etc is correct
