Abstract
Systems and methods for validating email recipients are provided. A method, according to one implementation, includes a step of obtaining a recipient email address entered in an address field of an email message that is being composed by a sender. The method also includes a step of checking validity of the recipient email address and a domain associated with the recipient email address, to identify one or more possible issues in the recipient email address before the email message is sent. The present disclosure can be implemented by an email coordinator service. Advantageously, an email does not leave the sender's possession until there is a validation of the recipient's address and domain.
